Baby Goat

Eli met the baby goat at Thanksgiving, and enjoyed watching him. But I'm pretty sure we just upped the cute factor by having a toddler feed a baby goat with a bottle.

Merry Christmas

Okay, to be completely honest, the first picture is not from Christmas morning, but it could be, right? Eli really had no idea what was coming this Christmas. He hadn't opened a present in almost a year, and remembered nothing about it. I'd love to say that by the end of they day he was ripping into them like there was no tomorrow, but he actually enjoyed playing with his new toys so much, he got saved about half of his presents for later in the day.

Every time we get blocks out, we have to build a barn. As an engineer at heart, I have made the barns fancier are sturdier each time, even adding a back door at Eli's request. We thought he might like a more realistic barn, and Santa happily obliged. This barn is all wood and very cool.

New Gator sweatshirt as well.

One of Eli's favorite presents is his tractor book from Aunt Deanna. The book is only about tractors. There are pull tabs, pop-ups, and textures. And it has a lot of tractors.

Thanksgiving

Eli met his newest relative at the wedding, but he got to spend a lot more time with her over Thanksgiving.

You'll notice in all these pictures Eli is wearing a hat. He has connected wearing a hat with riding on the tractor and lawnmower. Therefore, he loves it.

It's not Thanksgiving without a Cane Grinding.

Liam's Rockstar Party

Liam's Birthday party was rock star based, so Eli got pretty tricked out.

We probably enjoyed the rock-star look more than Eli, but he loved the guitars and drums around the house. Papa even went all out and bought Rock Band for the party. The kids loved the drums.

Mama loves her rockstar!

Liam's scooter

Eli had a blast at Liam's birthday party. It was a rock star theme. By this time his hair had fallen down, but it was still blue and he still had his guitar tattoo. Things were dying down in the house, and there was room to play with Liam's new scooter.
