Ellie's 1st Birthday (PIP)

We celebrated Ellie's birthday with family on Thanksgiving, and while she napped well, loved her turkey dinner, she was not buying into the birthday hat or cake!  I have to admit, I really thought she'd dive right in, so was a bit dissappointed, but she has been under the weather.  We gave her the cake again on Friday and she was only slightly more interested. 

Last night, we celebrated her actual birthday with friends at a local pizza place.  She had a blast!  And we did too - plenty of Christmas ale and no dishes!!!  We were lucky enough to have Tara (Puckchick), Fiona and Steve join us, and the two girls made faces and waved at each other all night long - it's just too cute to watch them together!  Next year, we'll plan things a little better and hope that Liz (Jarbatz), Mike and Brenna can come too. Ellie did great until the end, and was asleep almost as soon as we got home.

Who can believe it's been a year?!  She's changed so much that it constantly astounds me.  Thanks again for all the birthday wishes yesterday!

    Awesome pics!  Ellie is adorable!  (both girls are)  I think we all go through birthday cake fail, I don't know any babies who dove into their smash cake.  Sorry she's under the weather, I hope she feels better soon!  How's daycare going?

    Is it wrong that I really, really love the last picture of Ellie screaming? And what makes it priceless is Fiona giving the side-eye! That shirt is just precious - did you make it yourself?

    Etsy - can't remember the shop name off the top of my head, but I will send it to you as long as you promise to get it back to Jarbatz by March.

    HA!  Not so much - from the same Etsy store as the hat.  Actually got the information from Superaunt when Sabrina was 6 months and had the adorable 1/2 onesie.

    Love the pics!  Poor Ellie. And love Fiona's look. lol

    As for smash cakes... at least Ellie wasn't afraid of the icing.  Aaron still won't touch a cake.

    Thanks for sharing the pics, they are awesome!  How fun that you guys were able to get together, too.

    Shoot, I was going to recommend Goldenshop on Etsy, who also makes beautiful birthday hats and such, but when I went to look for the link, I saw she's on maternity leave too!  Seems like everyone is having babies these days!

    That is so nice of you, but no way. I would feel terrible if Sydney wore it and got cake all over it or something! I think I might try to make one. How hard can it be? A party hat, rhinestones, and some feathers - HA! This should be interesting!

    Wow!  I just don't have that level of craftiness in me.  Did you see that Superaunt knew right away it was littleoneboutique - if you have problems contact her because she was "closed" and still did the shirt for me.
