Ellie turned 1 on August 31, and enjoyed a birthday celebration over Labor Day weekend. The party was a success, as far as 1-year-old's parties go...meaning she stayed awake and relatively happy through the whole party, including swimming, playing in the sprinkler, eating cake, and opening presents.
I was very pleased with how well the caterpillar cake turned out. Ellie even had her own miniature version of the cake. But we'll see if she continues to get home-made cakes for future birthdays, since planning and preparing for the party is time consuming enough without considering the baking and cake decorating.
Ellie loved opening all her presents and playing with the paper or boxes. But when Papi brought out the red wagon, she was a goner. I can't even count how many laps we made inside the house on that first day with cousin Paige aboard.

I certainly wish we could have been there. It looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm very impressed with the cake! Cute.
We missed you at the party too, but there will be lots more parties in the future. Ah, yes, the wonderful caterpillar cake. Since I had to buy a special round cake pan, she may get some other cakes for birthdays...soccer balls, volleyballs, basketballs, maybe Mickey Mouse....anything that is round, so I can get my money's worth out of the pan.
