Life With Eli: Eli's First Trip!

Last Wednesday, Eli and I went to Utah to visit my side of the family. Only my mom had seen Eli, so everyone was very excited to meet him! Eli did so great on the plane--slept the whole time, which was so nice. When we got to Utah, I realized that I needed to buy him some warmer onesies as he only has short sleeved ones!
Boyd flew out on Tuesday and we're having lots of fun here in the cold weather! (sorry for the small pics, click on them to see the full size image)

This is my Mom's best friend Shirley, she lives in Washington and she came out to see Eli. She has known me since I was a baby, so she is kinda of like a mom to me. She had lots of fun holding Eli!

Eli woke up one morning and I went to put his clothes on for the day and he was NOT happy with me, so I let him take his morning nap in just his diaper. He looked so sweet we had to snap a picture!

Happy Thanksgiving! We had 24 guests over for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun. After dinner, Boyd blessed Eli at my parents house. It was so special. I love both my boys so much!

All dressed up ready for his blessing! Check out his cool hat. Boyd loves to put hats on him! I think we're starting a collection of fun baby hats! :)

Looking so dapper!

My great grandmother Fry crocheted these booties that Eli is wearing for my oldest sister Stephanie when she was a baby. All of my siblings were blessed wearing these same booties!
