Happy 1st Birthday Elliana!

Yesterday we celebrated Elliana's 1st birthday! We had quite the crowd over to our house to help us celebrate. Ellie had a great time and loved all of the attention. She didn't quite know what to make of the gifts. She wasn't very interested. She did love smashing her cupcake! At first she was hesitant, but then she got into it and ate over half of the cupcake. Sugar rush! Overall it was a great day. It is still hard to believe that our baby isn't a baby anymore. I guess she is officially a toddler now! She will always be our baby though.
Thank you to all of our friends and family that came over to help us celebrate our amazing little girl. We thank you so much for your kindness and generosity, especially the gift of your time. Elliana is such a lucky little girl to have so many people that care about her and love her!
Here are a few snapshots from the day. We will post more pictures as we get them.

The ladybug dessert table...yum!
She loved the balloons - first time she has ever played with one!
Wearing her little ladybug party hat.
Being sung to and mommy blowing out the candle. I think she was a bit overwhelmed.
Let the sugar rush begin!
Time for presents. She seemed more interested in walking around the coffee table, playing with a plate, or playing with a bottle of water.
