Happy 3rd Bithday Eli!!!

Another year? How can it be?

Eli Zachary Fisher

is now

THREE!!!

Have you ever seen a sweeter pose saying . . .

"It's my birthday and I'm 3"

I haven't either!!!

Eli has been telling everyone he's 3 for the past couple weeks,

but knows that now is his birthday, which means parties and presents ;-)

We had his birthday party on Saturday ~ pictures and post in progress ~ 

and today the celebrations are continuing . . .

The little man started his morning with phone calls from both Grammas

He is quite the conversationalist ;-)

The 3rd birthday is off to a fabulous start as he is eating a special breakfast while playing with all of his new Toy Story toy and watching Toy Story.  In Eli's world, it does not get better than this!!!

Plus, soon we are heading out for a special lunch and playtime with BFF Ava at McDonalds.

I'm not sure the little guy can believe all his great luck ;-)

We cannot believe it has been three years since this amazing little guy entered our lives.

What a wonderful adventure it is!

Eli Zachary, at three years old you are all boy and we wouldn't have you any other way.

You are a climber and love to get into everything.

Toy Story is your favorite movie and you LOVE Buzz Lightyear,

you even "buzz" us when you are mad! 

You refer to the other Toy Story characters as Buzz Lightyear friends.

You still love your tools, cars and trains as well.

We also often find you in Alli's room playing Barbies and dress up, though you think the dress up box is a pirate chest and constantly want to find gold dablooms!

You also love reading . . . current faves are:

Elmo's Red or Blue, I Like You, Goldbug, and your Toy Story and Cars books.

Lately, you've taken to spitting (thankfully nothing comes out!) when mad ~ we're working on that!

You love going to the beach house now but still are not the biggest fan of the beach ~

we're working on that too!

Your best buddy is Ava, you two are so precious together.

Even with your "all boy" way of life that often makes Mommy's heart jump,

you have such a kind and gentle heart.

You LOVE to snuggle and give hugs;

 and can often be found curled up on someone's lap with your blue bunny.

You absolutely adore big sister Alli and baby brother Lukey.

Your favorite song is Jesus Loves Me and you often ask to go to church.

You have the best manners ~ always saying Please, Thank You, You're Welcome, I sorry.

Your vocabulary has exploded and you talk very clearly but my two current favorites are:

Klaitlyn - Miss Kaitlyn (in the past you called her Clean!)

Dramma - Gramma

Eli Zachary Fisher, we love you so much!

You bring so much joy and love to all who know you.

We thank God for you each and every day.
