E Turned One!

I am about a month late, but Miss Ellie had a birthday! The year has really flown by and she's been an absolute joy in every stage.

We celebrated by going to Sea World that day and we had a garden-themed birthday that evening. Pizza is her favorite food (already)!


The missionaries joined us.

Everybody blow!

And here's a sampling of some of the many cake pictures we snapped...










Then her tray suddenly crashed to the floor and the magic was over.

Opening her 2 presents...



This little lady has a lot of spunk. Sometimes she'll "bust a 'tude." She has even begun giving these hilarious looks which I haven't caught on camera yet. They are of high-quality, though (like Noah's crusties).

This was they day she came home with a blue paw because of all the tests and immunizations she was put through at the hospital. She handled it very well and did not get frustrated when she had use of only one hand.

She pretty much knows she's in charge around here. But don't tell her brothers that; they're both sure she's in their care!

I can't believe it's been a year already! Ellie is such a doll. It looks like she definitely enjoyed her cake. :) I love that last picture-- so sweet!

How fun to see how she has grown over the year! Looks like she thoroughly "got into" her birthday cake and enjoyed it to the max -- what a hoot!! Love that gal and can't wait to see her (and the rest of you too!)

Is it just me or did this girl just continue to get cuter & cuter as she grew?!! Happy b-day missy, sorry we haven't sent anything yet! Lots of love to all the Laneys from the Gibsons!
