Elliott's 1st

Last Sunday, was Elliott' s 1st Birthday, wow how time flies!!!

We had a farm theme (surprise, surprise), mostly because

I have so much farm stuff already to use.

Here is some of the party decor....

I was excited to use my red peacock tablecloth

I did a banner of pictures of Elliott from birth to 12 M

Pinwheel party favors

This was a Happy Birthday banner using French

Vintage Alphabet cards, thanks risten

The kid snacks

Our house was full with lots of kids

Balloon Wreath, thanks Lidia for the great idea!

The grown-ups snuck outside for some peace and quiet.

We were blessed to have my Dad and Arlene join us for this special day.

Our garden was beautiful that day,

the azaleas were at peak for his party

Audrey had more fun at Elliott's party than he did

Sweet Audrey admiring the sweets

Cow, pig, chick and lamb cupcakes-

Thanks Arlene for laboring with me!

Shiloh turned 1 two weeks before

You might be wondering where the pictures of the birthday boy.

Well, he was a birthday boy grump... later we learned that he wasn't feeling well.

He had fevers the following three days and then broke out in a rash on Thursday, I guess he ended up having roseola.

This was the best picture we got that day.

I love this birthday boy!

This was what he looked like most of the evening

He wasn't really sure about his cupcake,

but had more fun playing with it than eating it

At presents time, he was a mess!

Audrey was excited to help out opening presents.

He gave up all interest and we

postponed the rest of present opening.

The next day he (with Audrey's help, of course) opened up the rest! He was only slightly more interested in them. Later, we he was feeling better, he got to really enjoy his presents.

Here is his rash that showed up Thursday
