Lizzie's 1st Birthday!!!

We celebrated Elizabeth's 1st birthday yesterday!
It's hard for me to believe she is 1 alreaday, it seems like only a few months ago she was born.  This past year has been crazy, fun, exhausting and wild.  I guess that's a typical year for a mom of young kids!

We started the day with yummy double chocolate pancakes.  Lizzie devoured them and ate 2 or 3.  She loves to eat, especially sweet foods because she doesn't have them often.

We had a mellow day, doing things around the house and the kids played with their friends. 

 

That evening we dinner of chicken tacos, fruit and salsa & chips with her grandparents.  Again she ate all her food, she loves her meals!  After dinner Lizzie opened her presents.  She got new clothes, and car, and some blocks.

Lizzie got passed around all night to everyone and she seemed to like it.  She isn't too nervous around strangers and unknown people yet.



Her favorite part of opening gifts was playing with the boxed, and wrapping paper. 



After she played with her toys we stripped her clothes off of her and put her on the table for her cake.  She loved everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to her. 

These pictures are out of order, but oh well. 
She has some weird, unkonwn rash on her body.

At first she was nervous about eating her Bday cake, but when she saw it was allowed she went right into it! She pushed her face down into the cake and used both of her hands to eat it. 

She made a huge mess and had a lot of fun!

Lizzie really liked it when all the kids were laughing and yelling at her to eat more cake!  She loves to get attention and laughs from her older siblings.



We love you Elizabeth, and we are so happy you are in our family!
