Nate's 5!!!

Wow, I can't believe Nate is 5! It's gone by fast. He has been so excited about his birthday... he woke up in the morning bounding up the stairs, announcing to everyone that it was his birthday. Mac was running behind him just as excited. It was like Christmas morning in the Eliason household!

We had a small birthday party for him with 5 of his friends in our backyard that he thought was the best party ever. It really was just an obstacle course and pinata, but with constant action, the kid was happy. Here's some pics...

We decided this year to try out having the boys invite as many kids as they are years old to their b-day party. Reason being, Mac our social butterfly would invite everyone he knew, and Nate gets overwhelmed with lots of kids. So Nate got to invited 5 buddies and he had a great time playing with everyone.

Check out my cake decorating skills! Not sure how it turned out... but winging it was kind of fun! We still haven't been able to cut into Tom. :)

Make a wish!

Sam set up an obstacle course including the trampoline, playset, zipline (which was the biggest hit) and other sports stuff Nate loves

The only thing Nate wanted for his birthday was a pinata...amazingly no one hit anyone else!:)

Sure glad I'm not the pinata with this tough guy!

Elly couldn't get enough of the zipline...she was cutting in front of the other kids to get on it. Her new nickname is "Animal."

OH, what fun, Gwyn! It looks like a super party. Katie turns 5 next Tuesday, and her party is this Saturday. I still cannot believe they are that old. It seems just like yesterday that they were born. We hope all is well with your family. We are thinking of you guys. Hugs! Give Sam and the kids our best!
