Ellie's First Birthday

Our sweet Ellie is already 1 year old!! & the girl did some celebrating!!! We went to Nashville for her family birthday party. We had such a fun day with all of her family & lots of friends! The Carell Room @ our church was perfect for all 90 of us! A friend told me planning a first birthday party was like planning a small wedding ... & woah, was she right! But, all in all we had a great time & the birthday girl was great!

The food spread (with some of Ellie's favs ~ turkey, cheese & carrots) & banner!!

happy birthday to you!!


Hard to believe at this time last year in was just Chad & I. Now it is the 3 of us & we are so blessed!! Our little family is so FUN!

So, here is the birthday girl on her REAL birthday, 3/8/11~ We came back to Johnson City for a little celebrating. We had a smaller version of Saturday at our house on Tuesday! Mom, Ann & Marie drove up for the day! We had such a fun little time with our friends here! Ellie is a fan of cupcakes for sure (guess she takes after her mom :))

Mommy & the birthday girl having cake, again!!!
So glad she got to wear her cupcake dress from Kelly's Kids again! I think it is just so cute!

whew, all this fun & partying wears a little girl out!! 'is it nap time yet?'
We had so so much fun! My birthday was wonderful as well! I guess, we will always celebrate together! Ellie got lots of new toys, books & clothes! The girl is definitely loved by many! She even got her first pair of Stride Rites from my parents. She is walking so well & getting fast! We went for her check up on Thursday ~ she weighs 22 pounds 6 ounces, 31 inches long. She is growing up so fast!!
