Happy 1st Birthday Elizabeth

Happy Birthday Lizzy!!!
Today Elizabeth turned 1 year old! We started the day with the traditional orange rolls for breakfast and then sent Amanda off to school. Katrina was sick again today and stayed home with us. When dad got home we had a fun dinner of a grown up version of mac and cheese. I diced some chicken and added it to the
homemade macaroni. We topped it with sliced tomato's and the kids ate it up. (you have to have kid friendly food for a 1 year old party right?) All during dinner she was reaching for the cake and boy was she surprised when as we were singing Happy Birthday we put it right on her tray. Some kids hesitate before getting
their hands all dirty, but she must be used to fighting
for everything she gets because she only looked at us once before she dug in. She used both hands and put the cake in as fast as she could. The top picture shows what she was able to get through in just a minute or two. After we washed her up and opened presents, she got a new outfit and a yellow spider that says and shows the letters of the alphabet. The last picture is of
her in her new swimsuit that Grandma got her and her new book. It appears that she likes the book the best and keeps fighting to get it from her sisters. All in all it was a great day and as you can see Katrina is feeling much better tonight.

First birthday parties are my favorite! I love how she dug into her cake! I can't believe she is one already! Looks like a fun birthday party. I love her swimming suit- I've been trying to suit shop for my kids too.

That is so cute! I love the cake all over her. She looks so content to be sitting there with all that cake to herself! Happy Birthday Elizabeth. We hope you had a wonderful day. We love you.
