We were in St. Louis for Eli's first Easter so we needed to dye some eggs for him to hunt:
Eli had something else in mind for the eggs:
Since we weren't sure when we were leaving St. Louis, we decided to have Easter dinner and Eli's 1st birthday party on the same day. Eli was in desperate need of his first hair cut, so my mother trimmed his hair before the party (I can't cut hair . . . just ask Chris).
After his first nap of the day, he woke up to find his Easter basket full of good stuff: bubbles, a new bouncy ball, a giant easter bunny (see previous pic of Monkey with bunny), and his favorite T-shirt (modeled at a later date):
The egg hunt went well, but after he ran out of hands for eggs he lost interest:
After we all ate and Eli woke up from his second nap, we sang happy birthday and let the little guy try some of the wonderful cake that my niece Larkyn made for him:
About 2 minutes later, Eli attempted to take a bite that was a bit too big for him and then he threw up all over his Daddy :) Funny stuff!
While in STL, we visited Suson Park and got a cute pic of Eli, my niece Larkyn, and nephew Lukys:
What it boils down to is Eli loved his time in St. Louis because he was always surrounded by people who love him:
