We had Princess Birthday hats...
...and more Prince-like boy hats...
Reagan and Jason woke up in the Birthday Celebration Spirit...
Elli woke up HUNGRY...
...but in the Birthday Celebration Spirit too...
After we ate breakfast we dove into the present pile. Elli got lots of hats for her Birthday (my boys all have lots of baseball hats, and they wear them often, and every time they do they look for a hat for Elli - look no further boys)...
From Joshua...
From Reagan...
From Jason...
And a special Homemade one from Grammi Faith (how did you know Grammi?)...
Grammi also got Elli a beautiful pink dress, tights to match, pretty socks...
...and a book - Elli knew what to do with this too...
It was at this point in the present opening that Daddy commented "It's a little tough getting excited about all of these Pink Girly gifts..." - I have to say it was a bit like the Twilight Zone in the house this morning - up until now Elli has played with all the boys' toys - it is odd to see girly pink things all over the place;)!! (Mommy is loving it!!)
She finally got Brandon's gift - he won it from Aunt Patti's giveaway - Mommy can't wait to decorate Elli's room now!!...
Trevor got Elli some Girly dishes...no more Star Wars plates for this girl...
She loved them and knew exactly what to do with them...
Daddy picked out a tea set for Elli...
She knew what to do with this too...
Elli got a new cell phone from Aunt Judy...
...talking on the go - she is a pro...
Grandma Pauline got Elli pretty clothes...
...and a piano with a microphone...
Elli knew what to do with this too...
After the big boys all went to school, Elli and the twins had a tea party, and Reagan created some atmosphere with his music making skills (be on the look out for a video of this - priceless!!!)
Elli is now asleep in my lap, happily dreaming of the First part of her First Birthday. Tonight, we will have cupcakes and a couple friends over, and Brandon has been working VERY hard on a Birthday Video for Elli - SO...COME BACK LATER!!!
