Ellie's birthday party

Today, the birthday celebration continued with Ellie's first birthday party. Ellie had fun with all of her friends: Hillary, Jay and Jackson (17 months); Chip and Hutch (10.5 months); Hope and Jordan (2.5 years); Kristin and Justin; JR and Jaime; Karen and Jimmy; and Gaga. She enjoyed a big helping of vegetable lasagna and then dove into her birthday cake!
The cupcakes for everyone else:
She loved being the center of attention while everyone sang "Happy birthday"

And wasted no time getting into the cake. The frosting (made with cream cheese and pineapple juice) was her favorite, but she did her best to put a dent in the cake too (it was pretty hard/heavy because it had no butter, sugar or eggs in it -- yum!).





The Baxters came up after the party. It's great hanging out with them and Ellie is very entertained by her super-active cousin, Cody.

Ellie loves her Uncle Jamie...especially when he's giving her breadsticks!

But apparently even Ellie can get TOO full!

Thanks for coming up to Dallas, Baxters!
