Silly face.

He wants to give you a hug.

Enjoy!!

Elias Turned 5!

Sunday was Elias' 5th birthday! He started it right with some special birthday cereal. This year the choice was Cookie Crisp.

After breakfast he got to open one gift.

Superman socks (with capes)!

 Showing them off.

After lunch, he got to open his gift from Tyler and I (mostly Tyler). For everyone's fifth birthday, Tyler makes them a desk. He was pretty excited about his.

See? Excited.

This was Addilyn and Asher's gift to Elias. It's a model of a tractor. Pretty nice, eh?

Opening the rest of the gifts.

This is a remote controlled flying shark. Once we get some helium, we'll have to show you it in action.

Opening a toy. Apparently it was an interesting toy.

Toy helicopter and motorcycle.
I'll post a video of the birthday cupcake and song tomorrow. Yay for a happy birthday!!
