Eli is 5

On April 27 2011, 3 days before my due date my water broke on the exam table and one c-section later I got to meet Eli David for the first time. His birth is totally "Eli Style"- surprise with a side of unplanned excitement. On April 27th 2016- his actual 5th birthday we picked him from daycare early and went to celebrate with a little bowling, some years it's warm and nice enough for golf, but 2016 was more of an indoor event type weather.  He then decided he wanted to go out to eat at Buffalo wild wings with his brothers and the staff cheered for Eli when they brought him a cake 

We were too busy in April to host a party, but in May we invited Eli's friend Josh and their family and "surprised" him with a little birthday party after work and school. We had DQ ice cream cake, nerf guns, homemade pizza and a couple fireworks to finish off the party.
