Happy 1st Birthday Ellie! - part 2

We had an actual {little} party for Ellie with my family on Sunday. Ellie didn't really care about presents except for her box of tissues. Besides tissues, we got her a couple small toys & some needed clothes, my parents got her a new Leap Frog Fridge Farm (one of the most loved toys in our house but the old one had seen better days), and Tara got her some Cinderella Mega Blocks. I think she made out pretty good for a 3rd child 1 year old, considering that I had originally thought I'd just give her some old toys! But the clothes she needed since most of Callie's hand me downs were off season. The 2 toys: Lil' Snoopy pull toy (I can't believe we've never had one of those- it's a classic!) and a Press & Go Cheetah.


I found Callie standing on a [sturdy] stool lifting Ellie up so she could eat some cake scraps! Ellie is unhappy in this picture because Callie had put her down & Ellie wanted more so Callie is just picking Ellie back up.

Jeremiah's aunts told me a few years ago about this present. On their first bday you give the bday baby a box of tissues & let them go nuts ripping each tissue out! Jack loved it & so did Ellie! (I hadn't heard about it w/Callie)

Ellie was taking them out & sharing with everyone. :)

Jack was stuffing the tissues down his shirt!

Ellie & Uncle Kenny took turns feeding each other.
