And then...Ellie Turns One!!



Dear Abigail,
You are so lucky to have 2 cousins so close in age to you! Ellie's big 1st birthday party was one week after Clara Lee's, so we were in birthday party mode. While the events leading up to Ellie's were not as dramatic as CL's, it was just as much fun. Lots and lots of kids showed up, like LOTS of them, and you didn't know what to do.


Thankfully you had balloons to keep you occupied, and of course, Ryan was there, so the 2 of you played together most of the time. For whatever reason, you love to play in Ellie's jump-a-roo thing-a-ma-bob, even though you are WAY too big for it. Everytime we go to Uncle Jaybee's you run straight to their closest to play in it... who knows...



And Ellie was so precious. Here's a shot of her before the cake...

And here's a shot after...

CLEARLY she loves her sugar!!! And Aunt Steph is CLEARLY more calm than your momma, because I would have been, well, stressing to say the least!!!!
We had a real good time, and ended up staying for a long time and even Aunt Amy and the gang stayed all night!
The next day was the super bowl AND we had an open house and because Ryan's parents are super nice, they let us come over to their house super early. That just meant more time to play with your boy Ryan!! The 2 of you are really starting to play together, or well, at least acknowledge the presence of the other! And you are learning what the word "share" means. You've never really had to deal with that, so it's a good thing to have play time with Ryan!










And yes, you are wearing Titans gear, even though they were not in the Super Bowl - Daddy says we always cheer for the Titan, regardless of who is playing. You had a blast playing with Ryan this weekend, and what a great 1st birthday!!! Once again, so many more weekends like this to come!! Hugs and kisses...
