Ellie Is One!

WARNING!  Do not read any further, if you do not want to see and hear about the birthday extravaganza celebrating the cutest-in-the-whole-world grandbaby's first birthday.  Please be forewarned that this is a blog post from a totally smitten grandma, and will contain about a gazillion cute baby pictures.  I cannot help myself.  Nor can I believe she is already one year old.

Let's start at the beginning:

The Decor:   ladybug theme (all the invitations, decorations, the cake, Ellie's outfit, the colors)

The Birthday Outfit:  was custom created for little Ellie by Just Add A Bow, a small company that creates custom hair bows for little girls and is expanding into party outfits too.

The fancy pants

The Birthday Girl, in all her cuteness:

Ellie with mommy Lindsay

                                            

                                                        Ellie with Auntie Sarah

This is major cuteness

The Party Food:

The Birthday Cake:

Ellie's outfit is removed for her first cake encounter.

Happy Birthday, Ellie!  We love you!
