A Truly Happy (Birthday and) Fourth of July

Elliot's party was a success!!
So many friends and family came to celebrate my not so little anymore boy's birth on Sunday, despite the awful 100+ degree heat and the fact that I chose to host the party at the park. Oops. Nevertheless, it was truly a good time of laughter, otter pops and a very delicious french vanilla cake with strawberry filling. I think around 30 people made the super sweaty event, and it was special to see so many gather together for Elliot. I will try to keep pictures at a minimum...












Monday was Elliot's actual birthday. It was a good day. We visited my grandfather in the hospital for awhile, caught up with my friend, Vanessa, at her house until Elliot's fits from teething became too much to handle, and ended the day with BBQ hot dogs, family and fireworks. Altogether a very successful beginning to July!
