Ellie is ONE!!!








Our little Ellie is finally one. We had such a fun party. We went to the Pleasant Green Park and had lots of family come. We barbecued. Played on the playground-Ellie loves the swings the most...and Emma likes the dirt ha,ha. We had a cute star cake made for Ellie that my aunt, Jennifer, made for her. We sang to her and with the help from Emma-and about 10 blows, the candle was finally blown out. Ellie didn't know what to do with the cake at first. She kissed it a few times, bit into it without using her hands, and then Emma stepped up and showed her how it is done. Ellie looked at me to make sure it was okay. I just smiled and helped her get her hands in the cake. About 5 minutes later, the cake was mostly gone and Ellie was COVERED with yellow frosting and loveing every minute of it. Kaycee, my sister, had to grab a fork and join in also. We cleaned Ellie up and then unwrapped presents which she loved-her rocking horse, her stuffed animals, farm animal toy that makes a noise, books, cute clothes, cow flashlight, etc. Ellie loves cows and loves to "moo" like one. She had a fun time and we had a great time taking pictures and videos. What a fun day and lots of fun memories. Now we just have to teach Emma how to share Ellie's toys with Ellie. Hee, hee.

Aren't 1st Birthdays the GREATEST?! They're just too fun. I can't believe that our son's 1st b-day is coming up next month! Why do our babies have to grow up so fast? They're going to be adults for the rest of their lives, so what's their hurry? Cute pix, & I LOVE the one where Ellie's putting her face into her cake! :)
