Eli's 12th Birthday - December 1st

12. Twelve. TWELVE! How is this big guy twelve? He has been so excited for his birthday for quite a while now. In fact, the night before he was up until 1:30 am because he was so excited he couldn't go to sleep. Eli is very intelligent, a hard worker, kind and compassionate, and a leader and warrior for the Lord. I love this little (big) dude with all my heart. For his birthday, he got to do exactly what he asked for. He and a friend (Brady Sutton) went to Chuck E Cheese to play games, then went to Papa and Nana's house for dinner, then came back to our house to play video games together.  For presents, he received a new bike, some football cards, and a new controller for his Playstation he's been wanting. When we measured him, he measured just under 5 foot 10 inches tall. He grew 5 inches in the last year! If he keeps this up, he'll be 6 feet tall in no time! Happy birthday my baby! I love you!
