Sailor's Second Birthday

One blustery day, we had a birthday party.  See those pom-poms below?  Well, my mom worked very hard to create all five of them.  I thought it would be nice to decorate a little early and hang the poms.  Well, the wind blew three away.  One was only slightly damaged, so we put it back up; another was so terribly mangled that it wasn't worthy to be re-hung; and the third is probably still blowing around the streets of New Bedford!

 

Enough with the pom-pom saga.  Here we are as a family at Josiah's somewhat-sailboat themed party.  It's hard to believe that Eli has already grown so much since this picture was taken two weeks ago!  Look at Eli's skinny ankles two-week old ankles!

I had fun making these lemon sailboats.

Here's Grammer hanging out with her two Santos grandkids.

And Grammer with Eli...

And here are Vovo and Vovo with Eli.

It got a bit chilly, so we headed inside for cake. (Thank you Pinterest and blogs for simple decoration ideas!)

Finally, a bit from the opening of presents.

Too all those who went to Boonville High School:  I can't believe I chose Castle colors!  I never would have 10 years ago!  :)
