Well, we celebrated Ellie's first birthday in Omaha at Erin and Kevin's house on August 4th, and it was a blast! They have an above ground swimming pool, and it couldn't have been a more perfect day for swimming! It was, however, too hot for the silly folks who didn't bring their swimsuits! Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
As for Miss Ellie, she totally dug (into) her cake! See photos for details. Apparently her foot wanted to get in on the cake action too! So anyway, we had a Backyardigans themed party because she really seems to like the colors and songs of that toddler cartoon. Yes, I know, it's sad that my not yet one year old has a favorite cartoon already. What are you gonna do... We grilled out and Uncle Todd smoked a brisket (thank you Todd), and had salads and chips galore.
Today, August 16th, is actually her birthday. We are going to take it easy, just have a little cake and a couple of presents. Today is also Class Assignment day for the boys, where we go find out who their teachers are and sign them up for activites, etc. etc., so thankfully Simi is going to watch Alex and Ellie for me! So that will be her big excitement for the day!
Have a good day!

The party was a blast and Todd loved making the bbq. We'll do it again soon, as long as somebody brings a pool! haha
