Eli turned 2 on April 9th, the Monday after Easter. We were blessed to have all of the Browns and Sheppardsons come to celebrate with us. We spent Saturday morning at the zoo, and had fun even though it was a little chilly and rainy to begin with. After the zoo, we returned home and had a backyard Easter Egg hunt.
Later that afternoon, we headed to Papio Greens golf center for Eli's party. Through his work, Josh somehow won a free party for up to 30 people there, so we were able to invite a couple of other families to join us for unlimited mini golf and hot dogs. It turned out to be a great place for a party, since all the kids loved the mini golf and there was a driving range to keep the adults happy, too.
The family was able to stay through Easter dinner, so I got to use my fancy dishes for the first time. Eli and Micah were so happy to have spent so much fun time with their extended family. Micah really loved the birthday party, too. He has already told us that when he turns 4, he wants to have a party with mini golf and he wants to invite the same friends that came to Eli's party.

| I snapped a picture of the entire Brown family at the zoo. |
 |
| After the zoo, we had an easter egg hunt in the backyard. Micah had too many eggs for his basket, so he turned to the wheelbarrow. |
 |
| We all worked together to make the cake. Eli still talks about it. |
 |
| He blew out the candles like an old pro. |
 |
| And he thoroughly enjoyed the cake. :) |
 |
| It was too bright for him to say "cheese" while looking at the camera, but he had an awesome time playing mini golf. |
 |
| This was taken on his actual birthday. What a great kid! We love having him in our family. |
