I hate doing this but I have to back up a week. Last weekend we celebrated a pre-birthday party for Eli with my brother and his family and my sister. We had dinner (sweet & sour meatballs by request), opened presents and had birthday cake, which was provided by Nikki - our cake decorator in the family and she did a fabulous job (as always)!!Fast forward to today and it was an extra special birthday for Eli. He turned 8 and was able to be baptized on his birthday, he was so excited! The day was shared with family, friends (and school teachers).
Last night Eli picked 'China' food for dinner, so it was off to our favourite Chinese restaurant.
He originally had chosen Red Robins because of the free Sunday but quickly changed his mind when grandma suggested an ice cream cake after Chinese food.
Eli and dad just before his baptism started. It was such a beautiful baptism and I became an emotional wreck when people started sharing different experiences they've had with Eli. He really is the sweetest and kindest boy. He certainly knows how to make everyone feel special and because of that he definitely leaves a lasting impression.
Happy 8th Birthday Eli!
