Surprise Birthday Present

Eli got a very fun birthday present today - a new cousin! Elayna Eden Eadelman arrived this morning in Grand Rapids. We are super excited to meet you, Elayna! Welcome to the family!

Enjoying Cake

It seems that this whole first birthday cake thing is a serious affair! Eli spent most of the time dissecting the truck cab, rather than eating it. It finally did get smeared around his head only because he started rubbing his face, head, and eyes during a very long yawn. Poor little man was very tired by this point in the party!

Check out this cake!

In honor of a tradition in Kris' family, check out these cakes that Kris made! The dump truck even had tire axles! The second cake was the pile of dirt for the truck to move. Mom, aren't you proud!?!

Opening Presents

We celebrated Eli's 1st birthday last weekend. Can you believe it?!? We had a very fun family birthday. Here are just a few pictures of him enjoying his new toys. And it was obvious that his cousins enjoyed the new toys, too!

The boys!

We took these pictures of Eli & Xhayvian this weekend. How cute are they! The poor kids are going to be subject to many of these pictures, as the only boys in the Warnie family. And, yes, Eli does appear to be grabbing his ear.

New favorite place

Look at how big he looks! Eli has discovered a little stool that lets him see out the kitchen window. Now anytime that Daddy goes outside, this is where Eli is. He especially loves watching Daddy snow blow the driveway! Now he just needs to learn how to step off the stool without falling!
