Elizabeths First Birthday

Elizabeth first birthday was a success thanks to all of our family and friends for there support and help. Jenny will get on here soon for the play by play. Here I am ready to give a caption to the pictures. First I just have to admit that neither Todd nor I decorated her cake. We made and frosted them and even made and colored the fondant, which was such a sticky mess. I give props to Liz and all those Betty home Crokers out there who do it themselves all the time.

She was sort of dressed like Alice. It got cold though so on went the sweatshirt. The balloons were a highlight of hers.

Here she is opening her gifts which her cousins did most of the work.


On the right, she is eating her cake and loving every bite. The top layer, which she ate half of, was a spice cake. The middle layer was a yellow sour cream, and the bottom was chocolate. The sippy cup she is holding was her favorite gift.





Don't forget the Cheshire cat thanks to my friend Rachel who with her artistic ability saved me a lot of ridicule and humiliation. Isn't it awesome? It was one of 3 games that were played. Along with mad hatter musical chairs, Croquet, and The Queen says. Pretty much the last two games were forgotten because of time. It was a late night for all but tons of fun!

The cake in all its three tiere glory. Great job Heather and Thanks again. It rocked! The snow globe came with quite the price thanks to Grandma and Grandpa's blood sweat and tears. We loved it Thanks.
