Ellie's party went great. She was a little shy at first because she's not used to so many people being at our house all at once. There were 18 total including our 6. Me, DH and our four kids, Both my parents, my grandma, my aunt, my cousin and her two kids(9yo + 7yo), my BIL and his 2 kids(6yo +5yo), my other 2 cousins who are 8 and 4. We all basically just hung out for a while and snacked on finger foods while watching the slideshow I made of her first year. Then she opened presents. My Dad was totally clueless as to what to get her so I helped him pick. He got her a soft Dora chair which she absolutely loved and sat in to open the rest of her presents. Her favorite presents from me and DH was her own baby laptop computer and a Sesame Street remote control. She always wants to play with mine, so we got her one for herself. Atleast now she can slobber on her remote instead of mine.
After presents we moved on to cake and ice cream. I bought her cake at Walmart and they gave us a free small cake for her to destroy. She played in her cake for about 20 minutes or so and ended up with icing in her eye so I had to give her a bath. While I was washing her hair to get the blue icing out, I noticed her rubbing her belly. I watched her a little more closely and figured out that she was wiping the icing off her belly and eating it. Poor girl didn't wanna waste any I guess.
After her bath, she played with her new toys for a little while and walked around visiting everyone. She started getting cranky so I put her down for a nap. She passed out hard and fast!!!
My two nephews ended up spending the night as well, which was more for my older kids to enjoy.
It was an exhausting day, but I'm glad she had a great time. Definitely made some awesome memories and took some great pictures. I will never forgot my baby girl's special day!
I'm waiting for Photobucket to upload the rest of my pics so I'll have to edit to add later.
