The BIG 1st Birthday

Elliott celebrated his 1st birthday yesterday with the help of a few friends. He had a great time and got lots of gifts and some $$ from both of his grandparents in Utah! Check out the days events:

Elliott woke up from his nap a little grumpy and got ready for his party

He is unsure about the party hat

Elliott with his cake and cards (he is looking as photogenic as his father!)

His mini cupcakes and b-day cards

Elliott loved having everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to him

He became more interested in the wrapper

SUGAR!

He loved his drum Dad got him!

Pippen even got in the party mood

Here is the party table.... I was going to put the cake on it but the wind blowing too hard!

I made this cute felt "Happy Birthday" banner and the wind kept knocking it down... I'll use it next year!

Elliott loves his Bee tambouring
