First Birthday Party (part 3: the final installment)!

In this final installment of Eliza's birthday party, I'll be sharing some of the candid shots during the party including gift opening.  Eliza got so many clothes, books, and toys!  We are so thankful to all our family and friends for giving Eliza gifts for her birthday.  Thank you!

Opening presents in her present from Mommy & Daddy

I can stand up!

A pretty teddy!

Guests watching the birthday girl

Loving her animal towel!

Helping unwrap

Shouting in her baby-way

Striking a tissue paper pose

This is her yelling at her cousin Grayson for trying to take her tissue paper.  Sorry, buddy!

My paper!

Hi, Aunt April!

She had fun with balloons, too!

Helping Daddy

this is fun!

Pretty girl!

Looking up to her cousin Gillian

Yay balloons!

Happy to be with Mommy toward the end of the party  :)

So there ya go.  It was such an amazing day, and I still can't believe it happened and my girl is 1 year old.  Even though this is the final birthday party post, I expect both Gary and I will write again to reflect on her first year.  We just haven't had the moments to sit down and truly reflect the way we want to.  So again I say, Stay Tuned!
