On October 30th, we had the pleasure of celebrating Eliza's first birthday. We started the day off with a photo shoot at JcPenney where she wore her Halloween costume, and then changed into a pretty embroidered dress with a pink sash. We then came home and got ready for the party. We had a variety of sparkling juices, many finger foods, a pot of cheese fonu going, and of course...the cake. Once the guests arrived, both of her grandma's and our closest friends, we opened the presents. Of course she was more interested in playing with the packaging than anything else at first. Then on to the kitchen to sing happy birthday. She had a beautiful Disney fairy cake, which really didn't excite her much until a chunk of it was placed in front of her. With hands full of frosting, she surprisingly didn't make too much of a mess. Once she had her fill, we headed upstairs for the birthday bath. After getting clean and dressed in her footy pj's we headed back downstairs to play with her birthday loot. There, she and her friend Scott played until eyes lids began to droop and it was time to go to bed. We had a lot of fun, and now look forward to the holiday season.
