We had a great day yesterday celebrating our grandson, Eli's birthday. All of our kids who live in the area came over to join in on the fun. It didn't hurt that we were having our annual Super Bowl Bash at the house. 
Along with our friends, the Kelvingtons, all of our kids and grandkids joined us for some super partying. Will & Kari, Jimmy & Hollie, and Chris were all there. This has been an annual Salley family tradition for as long as I can remember. Tons of food and good times. Pulled Pork sandwiches, pizza, calzones, stuffed mushrooms, nachos and queso, fruit, veggies. brownies, birthday cake, deviled eggs, and lots of other goodies.

The room was pretty well split down the middle as far as rooting for the Saints or the Colts. The Salley side of the house were going for the Saints, while pretty much everyone else was rooting for the Colts. It was a friendly and festive atmosphere with way too much food and plenty of cheering and gentle ribbing. 

The real star of the show though was Eli, who will turn 3 this week. He had fun with lots of his cousins around to celebrate with him. Grandma and Grandma gave him a months worth of jumping around at the local jumping house place....should be lots of fun.
We had a great day with our family and friends...it doesn't get a while lot better than that.

You're back on the radar! AND your blog is showing up as updated. I'm jealous of the Super Bowl fun! If I would've known that it was such a bash with all of that food I would've driven up!
