One Year Old!

Ellie is one!

The day started out with Ellie's favorite breakfast, banana yogurt and little cereal puffs. While daddy ran some errands Ellie and I played and I made her a birthday shirt. (check out the picture...I'm very proud of myself for actually sewing something cute!) Then Jason, Ellie and I stopped for lunch at Pei Wei (Ellie sampled the lettuce wrap filling and some brown rice) and we went headed out to Marbles Museum. Ellie is a little bit young for most of the exhibits but they do have a baby area that she enjoyed. She stood up at the fish tank wall and smashed her face on the glass, stood at the bead table, shook up a wide variety of plastic tubes with all kinds of things inside of them, and checked out pretty much every kid in the place.


On the way home we stopped for Goodberry's Custard! She loved the vanilla and didn't want to stop eating it. After a busy afternoon she took a long nap.

After she woke up we skyped with Vera (too cute! and super fun). Then for dinner we had hamburgers, green beans and sweet potatoes (some of Ellie's faves) with Nana and Grumps and then Ellie got to taste a cute little cake that Nana brought for her.

She opened some great gifts and we played for awhile. Here she is busy with one of her favorites, it is a drum filled with all kinds of musical instruments. We think she may be a musician!

After Nana and Grumps left we gave Ellie round 2 of cake!

I made some sweet little funfetti cupcakes for her and Jason and I sang happy birthday to her. She especially enjoyed the candle and the lights being off!

It was a good birthday and she was super tired and super full of sugar by the end of the day. We are so excited to have a one year old! It is fun and crazy and exhausting all at the same time!
