Elsie Turns 1

We celebrated Elsie’s first birthday on Saturday. And what a glorious day to celebrate! We couldn’t have asked for nicer weather to enjoy a party in the sun!

Amy did the whole party in a ladybug theme. Her decorations were so sweet!

a bunting of pictures from every month since she was born

We opened presents out on the grass… I think Ada liked it as much as her little sister.

  I love this look on her face!

 

Then the kids played in their “tent”. Ada wore it around her head and said she was “Mary”. I think she meant she was getting married… ;o)

Time for cake!

The weather was gorgeous and Andy had a biology project to do at the creek, so we all headed down to play and eat supper.

Ah, creek… How I have missed you!

Now it really is a “root” cellar

throwing rocks was everybody’s favorite activity

 Stella loved her rock so much!

 

Elsie isn’t quite ready to throw rocks yet…

What a wonderful day! Thanks for letting us come and help you celebrate, Elsie! We love you!
