Tanner had an Elmo Birthday party and he had the best time! For those of you who don't know, Tanner LOVES Elmo so it was easy to decide what to do for him. He had some of his cousins over and they had alot of fun. Tanner didn't really know why everyone was there but it was a party so he didn't care. They played Pin the nose on Elmo and we had an Elmo pinata and they all had fun beating that with a bat. Jim ended up beheading Elmo and then Tanner carried it around for a while. When it came time to blow out the candles, Tanner knew exactly what to do and blew them right out. We've been working on blowing on our hot food, so Tanner was prepared. He is a smart little kid. He still didn't quite get the present concept. We had to keep showing him that there were things inside the packages. I guess it has been awhile since Chirstmas.
Tanner needed a little help with the bat since it was bigger than him. He took the first turn and then had a freak out because he didn't want to give anyone else a turn. But it all worked out. It was funny to watch the kids try to hit it. We had to hide the bat afterward so Tanner would stop swinging it at random things, like me and his cousins, just to name a few. I wondered if that would give him any ideas.
Finally Jim whacked it good and the candy went flying! All of the kids went for all the candy on the ground except for Tanner. He dug it out of the beheaded Elmo body. He knew where the good stuff was!
This is just his cake. I thought it turned out really cute. Better than I could do that's for sure. It was a fun day and Tanner had a blast. It should be better next year when he actually knows whats going on.

so cute. It was fun seeing you at swimming lessons too bad we arent in the same class. DangitQ!
That looks like fun. It is too bad that the kids don't live closer together so they can play more. They had so much fun at the reunion. It was great seeing you guys!!!
