Party Time

As promised last week, I am back this week with a report on Elsie's first birthday party.  The festivities started with a make your own pizza bar with just about every topping imaginable to choose from.  Elsie got her own little pizza with sausage and really enjoyed it.

After dinner it was time for birthday cake!  I had made a small cake for Elsie and a big cake cake for everyone else.  Elsie was really excited when she saw her cake.  When it came time to eat it, however, she was hesitant and not really sure how to begin.  She tried going in face first but that didn't really work. She mostly liked picking off the little sugar balls to eat.  Eventually, I tried to break the cake up for her hoping she would be more interested, but that didn't really make much of a difference.  In the end, Jeremy gave her a fork and she made more progress with that than anything else.

We ended to evening with presents.  Elsie was a spoiled girl.  She got a new car seat, clothes, shoes, books, stuffed animals, and hair bows.

It was such a fun night celebrating our big girl.  I still can't believe she is one!
