1st Birthday!!!

Eli and Elizabeth celebrated their first birthday on Wednesday. We started it off by waking them up in the morning singing to them and turning on the bright lights. We brought presents and had a sweet time of opening gifts.


On Saturday we had a little party for them. We had a delicious cake for the adults and I made some cupcakes for the kids. The cake was designed after their favorite toys.
Some of the special guests at the party were Caroline and Hannah...
Aunt May with her youngest niece...
and Grandma with her favorite grandson (also the only grandson).
Eli and Elizabeth were at the table ready for cupcake time...we were a little slow for Elizabeth so she decided to play with the table cover.
The surprise of the party for me was Mr. Eli who LOVED the cupcake. This little man likes his food pureed... so I did not think he would like something that was solid, but he ate it up!
Now Elizabeth will eat anything set in front of her so I knew she would love her cake and she did!
The kids at the party had a great time laughing at Eli and Elizabeth eating their cake.
Elizabeth was upset when the cake eating was over. She thought she should get another cupcake to eat and cried and cried. Actually right after this picture Greg set her on the ground and she went right to the table where some food fell on the ground and started to eat it!
Eli did not fuss as much but did thoroughly enjoy his cupcake too!
Today the kids put on their new bathing suits and played with Eli and Elizabeth's new toy. They were so sweet to share their toy with big sis, Caroline.

FYI for those that do not have the privilege of living in Texas, it was 92 degrees today!!!
