cousins, birthdays and golf carts

This summer has been full of cousin birthdays for us.

Eli turned 2.

He doesn't like his hands to be wet or messy, so I'm thinking this little smidge of icing that got on his finger was not the most exciting part of the day for him.  Look at his cute cake!  Erin is so creative and made that for him.

Eli was not so sure about the whole pinata thing......

but Elliott was (of course).


And then this little guy turned 1

He's looking at Erin with that "what just happened?" look because she had just swiped his hand away from the oh-so-enticing light coming from the burning candle.  C'mon Mom, it's way cool to stick your finger in a burning flame!

Ryan was trying to show Ben how this whole "dig-into-your-cake-and-make-as-much-of-a-mess-as-you-want" thing was supposed to be done.  From the look on Ben's face, he wasn't buying it.

I just love this picture.
Pure. birthday. joy. 


So if you are a Hosselton grandchild, you know that when you go to Grandma and Grandpa's there is a golf cart ride just waiting to happen. 
This was actually the first time Ben would ride in it. He loved it! So much that he didn't want to get out.


 
You were wondering where Elliott was, weren't you?


And they rode off into the sunset.  And it was quiet.  For a few moments.
