One taken by Baba

Elijah's grandpa (E calls him "Baba") took this one.

HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY ELIJAH!!!!!!

The day started off with the opening of presents. Elijah looks swank in his new shirt from Josh, Miyuki, and Nico.


And he loves his Star Wars musical birthday card!

True story:

Here are some pre-race pix--
