First off...I apologize for being so long in adding updates. I misplaced the camera and now it is lost. We got a digital video camera right before Elle's birthday...but unfortunately the pictures are not very good. We just replaced our camera...but these pictures are all from the video camera. You can look forward to better quality and most likely more frequent pictures in the future.
This was taken the day after Elle's birthday. Her birthday was on a Thursday but we didn't celebrate it properly until Saturday.
Joy has been full of facial expressions lately...this one is quite common.
Elle enjoying her birthday spaghetti dinner.
Elle opening her present with Joy looking on.
"What is this thing on my head?"
"Ahhh...a box!"
"This ribbon looks fun."
"I do like opening presents."
When you just turn one...a mouth full of food looks awfully cute. She really enjoyed her cake. I don't have a still picture of it, but it was a sunflower cake with a construction paper stem. The cake has a story. I baked the cake early in the day on Saturday and set it on the counter to cool. Suddenly I look and Joy has helped herself to some of the cake. I scold her and set the cake out of her reach. Then our whole group heads to Costco. My parents, my mother in law, my husband, and my girls are all included. My father in law stays at the house to watch the game. When we arrive home we discover that a whole petal is missing from the cake. My father in law noticed that someone had been nibbling on it and thought it was free game. So...I had to think of something to help disguise the missing petal and came up with a green construction paper stem with a bow around it. It actually looked pretty cute and makes for a fun 1st birthday story for Elle.
"Gotta wash that cake right outa my hair." What a happy girl!
