Eliza's 1st Birthday - PARTY!

I'm finally getting around to the rest of Eliza's first birthday party post. She gobbled up her birthday dinner and the big girls adored each having a grandma and a grandpa to sit next to them. Eliza was very interested in the singing, but she hated the birthday hat!

Initially, Eliza was tentative about eating her own cupcake. That ended quickly and she totally got into it. I was glad that I had not mopped before the party.

After the cupcakes, there was no way to clean her except the bath. Eliza thought that was a great idea on her birthday because she ADORES the bathtub.

After she was all cleaned up and coronated (I had to do something for the birthday princess if the hat was not an option, right?!) she opened presents up on the big chair. Cue the terrified mommy here, but Daddy was right, she stayed put.

Everyone got to help her open the present they gave to her and be very close for her darling reactions. Eliza definitely improved her wrapping paper tearing abilities by the end.

Eliza adored all her gifts, but especially the baby doll from her sisters, the new binkys (the old ones were gross, in my fastidious opinion) from her parents and the books from both sets of grandparents. It was a great party to celebrate our magic baby!
