Elise's Blessing

We blessed Elise on June 3, 2012 in our ward. It was a wonderful day and, as you can see, she was a perfect, beautiful little angel :)

I know these are a million pictures all of her from slightly different angles, but I do these posting for the blog books I print later and I want them all! So you'll have to suffer through.

 I can't believe those are all mine! I love this picture! (and as you can see from the following pictures, getting them all to sit still and look at the camera is almost a laughable event) 

 Elise's big brothers couldn't be more crazy about her. It's a fight all day to see who gets to hold her.

 Love her!

Luke is 4!!!

My little Luke turned 4! I can't believe it! 

He started off his birthday festivities at school where they did a spot light and made a big about him. As you can see by the look on his face, he did not mind the attention at all ;)

Later that day we got together with all of Luke's grandparents. We opened all is presents before heading off the Chuck e Cheese.

And now for the highlight of the day: Chuck e Cheese (what is it with kids and Chuck e Cheese?! Man they love it!)

Elise didn't quite get what all the fuss was about

But Joey sure loved it!

And of course the big boys were in heaven :)

Later that week we had a little party for Luke with all his friends. 

The Theme: Captain America

Captain American, himself!

And his cupcakes

(A secret: Captain America is an easy theme this time of year--4th of July decorations are plentiful, and work perfectly for the occasion :)

All the guests

Opening presents

 

Even Elise dressed for the occasion :)

Joey had his fun running around after the big kids

Time for the scavenger hunt!

The final prize? The Pinata!

And finally cupcake time.

Happy Birthday, Luke!
