Elsie is ONE

Warning Major Picture Overload!
I can not believe our little baby is one. She is by far my baby that has stayed baby the longest. Some say it is due to the lack of time she spends away from my hip. Others say it is because she was born early. And then there are those that say it is because she is my fourth. What ever it may be she really is still so baby! To tell you the truth I love it. She doesn't walk, talk, or eat on her own yet. She just barley got teeth two weeks ago, so that explains the eating. All the hip time explains the walking, so what is up with the talking. Oh well soon enough we won't be able to get her to shut up. Elsie is such a cute little baby. She has the best laugh EVER! I love to make her giggle. She is still my crankiest baby but that is okay, everyone needs one. We just love her to bits and pieces.

Here is a recap of her birthday in pictures. There are a ton. It is her first birthday after all.

Opening her presents

After lights out, loud singing, all attention on her, and the candle blowing mishap Elsie wasn't so sure about eating her cake.

Okay maybe I will try it.

Still not sure if this was worth all eyes on her.

BACKOFF ELLIE!

I think I like this.

"Anytime you want to put a cake in front of me, and watch me, okay by me"

Ah, the clean up begins.

Papa and Mama

Grandma and Grandpa

Cousin Friends the Johns

John wasn't able to make the party so he came by on
Emma's birthday and brought her a CD player.

Smitty and Ashlee couldn't make it on Elsie's Birthday so they also came by on
Emma's and gave her a darling outfit.
