EILEEN IS ONE

Today is Eileen's FIRST BIRTHDAY!  Our little girl is ONE!

We celebrated with everyone on Saturday- it was a great party for a very loved, very lucky little girl.

All dressed up for her party...

There was a BBQ dinner at the Sanders House.  Eileen's birthday cake was a cute piggy.  It went with the farm theme.

Eileen's pile of presents- this was less than half of what she got.

Eileen got ready for the party...

 and then took a nap as guests arrived.

 Then, we sang Happy Birthday and posed endlessly for pictures.

 And then Eileen got to open her (many, many) presents.  She had some great help from cousins Adam and Eli.

  

Uncle Thomas had a great surprise for Eileen- he came dressed as her favorite TV character: DJ Lance Rock from Yo Gabba Gabba.

Eileen is not quite sure what to make of Uncle Thomas

Of course, she had a blast playing with the boxes and tissue paper:

 After presents, we sat Eileen down to have some birthday cake.

 I don't think she was hungry.

 So we put her in her pajamas and let her enjoy her new toys:

She loves her Anywhere Chair!

She was worn out!  She slept a full 11 hours after her party!  (I wish we could afford to throw her a party every night.)
