Ellie Mei is ONE!

Happy Birthday Ellie Mei! We love you so much.
Ellie and Emma found something to do while we were putting the final touches on the birthday cake.
They turned over the kitchen chairs and played around them.

Michelle and Matt came over and celebrated with us.
They gave Ellie this super cute sweater, a teething ring, the pink bow, and suckers. Ellie dug in right away.
The cake is ready and it is time to sing to our little girl.
As tradition goes, for the first birthday we make a small cake for the one year old to dig into. Here Ellie is sampling her cake. She did well at eating the cake. By the end of the whole process she was a mess and needed a bath.
Yummy!
Finally digging in!
Messy, Messy
This girl is ready for a full clean up in the bath tub.
After Ellie was cleaned up and dressed for bed, we let her open her gifts.

After opening this super adorable gift from Oma and Opa Ellie clapped.
What is in this one?

What is it going to be?
Ellie was really good at digging out her presents from the gift bags.
Digging in to find her doll
Her main toy gift was a Ni Hao Kai Lan doll! Since she is Ellie Mei, she must have a Chinese doll for her. She has been so cute with it! Emma likes it too, but this is one toy that is officially Ellie's.

Ellie and her new dinosaurs. What is up with this face?
Ellie was most interested in her bottle of milk. In this pic, you can see new clothes, a bath toy, and some dinosaurs. All of these were gifts for her birthday!
It is time for Ellie's one year wellness appointment. Ellie slipped her body through this small place while she waited for her turn to see the doctor.
Ellie was really busy at the doctor's office.
