Celebrating Eli's 2nd Birthday

Eli turned two this past weekend.  To celebrate the big day, we went to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the day and spent the night.  We did the town up and down, including the Children's Museum, the River Walk, swimming at the hotel, dinner, presents and cupcakes.  The next day, we went to Rock City and then headed home.  I present to you, a weekend in pictures:

This is the only way Eli eats cupcakes.  And notice his beloved key set Grandpa gave him for his birthday.  He slept with them in his crib, of course.

And now we take over Rock City.  Eli RAN through the entire place, sweat covered from top to bottom.  Lucy was a little less enthusiastic about the days events.  But My Little Pony was there for moral support.

Lucy has officially entered that phase of her life where photos are no longer cute, but simply a way for parents to annoy their children.  And this is how they get their revenge.  Some things are eternal and it's almost a comfort to see them appear. 

She smiles!  She looks cute!!

Oh, The Whine is back.  But look, My Little Pony is sticking by her side.

The picture of me at this spot has Lucy crawling through my legs and Eli trying to get out of my arms.  Dad and Eli is so much better.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, we are done.
