Elton John and David Furnish's Kid: Cutest LAX Arrival ... Ever!

Elton John and David Furnish have a real showman on their hands -- 'cause their son Elijah stole the spotlight from dad at LAX.

We got David returning home after vacay in Aspen and the proud hands-on dad let his son rise above the crowd on his shoulders. The kid, who's about to turn 3, is just too damn cute.

You gotta see him chat us up about how much he loved his skiing trip. Elijah ain't shy.
