Birthday Festival

We were able to spread Eliza's 1st Birthday celebration out across 3 different occasions, I mean, why have a birthday party when you can have a birthday Festival. Eliza seemed to have a good time, and Mum and Dad certainly did.


As far as our little girl growing up..... Eliza has 6 teeth now and can stand up and go for a walk or a run all by herself (which seems to make her very happy!)


Celebration #1 was in St Louis just before we left after Christmas. A little early, but it enabled the family out there to participate.


Ice cream cake is fun!


Celebration # 2 in NJ with friends - this was the day before Eliza's birthday. Grandma came in for the weekend so she could participate in the birthday festival. We had lots of balloons, one of Eliza's favourite things.

Cake #2 is in her sights

Mission #2 accomplished

Celebration #3 - this is Eliza's actual birthday and she is standing on her new Climb 'n' Slide castle - and yes, it now resides in our apartment...

Sliding is fun, Eliza has worked out the sliding part, still needs a little help on what to do when she gets to the bottom ;-)
Grandma and some of the family from Queens joined us to celebrate on Eliza's actual birthday.

Triumphant over Cake #3 - mmmm, chocolate
