Our Elmo Extravaganza!!

Kate's 1st birthday party was yesterday and boy did we have a blast!! It was, of course, Elmo themed. Elmo was everywhere. Kate was walking around all day pointing and saying "ELMO!" I'm pretty sure she loved it!! I didn't get any good pictures of the decorations...but there were balloons, streamers, and elmo printed everything everywhere!!

On Saturday, Kate got to meet Elmo!! Talk about a dream come true for one little one year old!

I decided to try my hand at making a fancy cake!! Here is the Elmo cake I made!! The second cake is another cake we had made by Grandma and Aunt Deenie. We had enough cake from that one that we didn't even end up cutting my cake. We are freezing it and are going to eat it in a few weeks. We can't let all that hard work go to waste!

Presents





We sung happy birthday in the house and were going to go back outside where we were eating (and where Kate's high chair was) to give her her cake...well as you see, she dug right in on my lap. She devoured her cake!

Pinata time!

Kate had enough! She was beat by the end of night. Here she is lounging in her new sing and spin Elmo chair from Pappy! (Watching Elmo to end the day!)
