Today we celebrated Elena's first birthday. We had a little party at John and Mary's house. Elena gobbled down a bunch of pizza and made a mess of her clothes, but that was just the beginning.
Next, Karen brought out the birthday cake (minus the cool #1 candle because Karen forgot it at home). Karen's mom came through with a regular birthday candle. As you can see from this picture, Sprout is a chip off the 'ole block; she nearly burned herself on the candle three times.
Once Elena touched the cake, she wasn't sure what to make of the sticky texture and the giant hunk of food in front of her. She attempted to toss the entire cake aside, but Grandpa Les demonstrated skills from his
former life and saved the day. Here you see the aftermath of Grandpa Les's triumphant save.
Once she tasted the sugary goodness, the cake disappeared quickly. Elena doesn't exactly pick at her food. While I was trying to clean her up after dinner she kept digging for and eating pieces of cake that fell on her seat.
As we finished eating cake, three kids (including Elena) started into their bedtime howling, so we cut the party short. We will open her presents tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who made it to the party!
