Elizabeth is ONE!!!

So, we started out the day at "the bread place"! Here are the girls!

After breakfast we started getting ready for her party! We invited lots of people from Michael's work to come over tonight and celebrate with us! I started on the cupcakes and Michael worked outside some. Here I am icing the cupcakes!
While I made the icing Michael put together all these vegetable kabobs - so pretty!
After we had some lunch, Elizabeth opened her presents...

We got her a bible story book, a baby, and a dora ball!

Here she is looking at a card from Nana, Papa, & Ashlee

we had to help her with opening the presents she wasn't really sure about it.

Here she is with an Elephant Daddy Gene & Ladonna sent - so cute we love it!

playing with her baby

She played with her new toys for a little while and got to talk to Nana, Mama, & Ashlee on the computer before naptime.

During naptime Michael and I finished up getting the food ready...

I thought the table turned out great! This was our first big get together in Utah, so I was so excited to get to use all of my crystal thats been packed away for the last few years!

snacktime having her crackers and juice

She loved the balloons!

I had two tables set up out on the deck. The weather was perfect just the right temperature.

eating blueberries, she loved them!

almost time for cupcakes!

It looks like she doesn't know what to think...

yummy cupcake

and ice cream too!

What a special day it was!!!

And...here's a video of singing Happy Birthday and her reaction to it all. I think all of a sudden she was a little overwhelmed and realized everyone was singing to her...
