A Whole Lot of Pictures and a Birthday Interview

These are Elias' more formal birthday pictures.  We took them at the park right after picking up Asher from preschool. He was a little cold.

But seriously cute, right?

This is his fake smiley face.

I really wish I would have started this interview thing earlier with the older kids because some of his answers are awesome! A vacation under a volcano?!  How does one come up with something like that?

He was telling me something.

Elias has always had the best expressions.  You never have to wonder what's going on in his head because it is written all over his face.

Seriously. Too cute.

Grumpy bear.

All done.
