Her birthday was on Wednesday but we officially celebrated on Friday due to work schedules. I will post her Amazing birthday party later, but for now this was how her day went.
First things first: Mommy bathes me, rubs lotion on me, puts me in a pretty dress, fixes my hair and then has to go and ruin everything by putting a stupid bow in my hair! So first thing on the agenda is to "Get this bow out of my hair!"
"There much better"
I play ball with grandma and show off my "ball playing talents"
First Grandma rolls the ball to me
Then I stop it with my foot
Then I scoop it up with both of my feet
Then I lift the ball with both feet and place it in my hands and toss it back to grandma!
Mommy puts the finishing touches on all the decorations she made for my birthday party on Friday!
Aunt RaLee went to the store and picked me out my own special cake
Aunt Amanda, Uncle John and my cousins Isabelle and Nolan came to wish me happy birthday.
I didn't know what to do with the cake, "they want me to feed myself and get my hands dirty? Are they kidding me?!"
She daintily pokes at it with one finger
Mommy thinks if she feeds me a bite then I will eat it
Cousin Nolan thinks I'm nuts and is dieing to help me! But Aunt Amanda says, "No Nolan it's Ellie's cake."
"Nolan go see your daddy"
Then Aunt Crystal gets Nolan a chair and says he can show me how to eat cake! He got cake all over me!
The Tinkerbell Topper was his favorite!
Mommy, Grandma, and Aunt Amanda fed me cake!
But getting dirty was worth it because I got to take a fun bath with Nolan and get all clean again!
My grandchildren are a blessing and a great source of joy to me. I love them so much! I loved watching Nolan eat cake with Ellie, but I couldn't help feel a little sad knowing that Amanda and her family are moving to Logan, Utah, and I won't be there to watch him eat his own cake and to snap 249 pictures of him on his special day!

Looks so fun and I am sad that the two of them won't live close so they can grow up together. I have to wonder when our family will have to start going their separate ways. It seems to be such a part of life these days.
Wonderful pictures of Elizabeth's first birthday! She is just beautiful, as is Nolan :) I think of Sage often too. So thankful that the gift of Elizabeth's life one year ago has brought much joy. Blessings,
With Hope,
Cheryl
Hi Cheryl, I hope you read this comment. I try and try to leave comments on your "we are nine" blog and it won't let me. In fact anyone who has their "comments" set up like you do most people can't leave comments. I have researched this and apparently its a "bug" in the program. This is what seems to be the solution.
So, in one's blog SETTINGS, under the COMMENTS tab, where you have three choices for how your comments will appear (Full Page, Pop-Up Window, or Embedded Below Post), it is the third choice - Embedded Below Post - which for some reason disables the little pull-down menu where we are asked to "Choose A Profile" and which prevents us from commenting.
I'm really hoping I can leave you comments and that you will know I read your blog too!
I tried so hard not to cry. I tried to stay so busy that I did not have time to think about the other things. I teared up in the kitchen for a moment then pushed passed it. I am so thankful for miss Ellizabeth. She surely has placed a big band aid over my heart. I love her and personality and laughter!
Hi Liz! Wow! You're going to have 13 grand children soon! Fun times! Loved looking at the kids, they all so cute! I sent you an email awhile ago but never heard back from you. Hope all is well with you.Give your brother a call sometime =) Love from us and happy holidays and a great new year!
