This is Elliott's birthday countdown. He started asking months ago, so we finally made this so he could cross a day off, and then count how many days were left. He was so diligent in keeping it up. It was the first thing he did every morning.
We had some fun birthday parties with our fam and Elliott's first friend party.
This is Elliott begging to open his presents from Grammy and Grandpa and his aunties before we were even finished with dinner.
I asked him what kind of cake he wanted and he said, "round" so I made my favorite- chocolate!
E didn't end up eating much cake- but oh..the frosting! ;)
We had a "Speed Racer" birthday party for his friends since Elliott is obsessed and since he was turning five and the car is named "Mach 5." So we played a little race car game and had yummy red Mach 5 (strawberry) cake.
Elliott loves his friends and had so much fun- but it was so crazy and LOUD! Thank goodness Linds stayed to help me out.
We got Elliott a ramp, (he was always asking to use the neighbors) and a skateboard. He likes using the ramp with his bike every waking minute that he can. 
He has been practicing his skateboard a lot too. We have these awesome little neighbor boys who we watch skate all the time, so he already wants to do it like them. It will be a while before he can use it on the ramp though...
"The Launch"
This is his latest trick (No legs!) along with his "one hand" riding. He really loves his bike!

Cute countdown chart. When he was over last week I said, "5 more days til your birthday!" and he got a huge smile and said, "How did you know?"
He's going to be so good on the skateboard. He's such a sporty kid.
