Happy Birthday to Elise

Because Tom is heading off to Canada for a guys fishing trip first thing Friday morning, we celebrated Elise's first birthday on Thursday night at my parents house. We went with a balloon theme for the party and Elise loved all of the balloons.



For the older kids, we played some balloon games in the back yard. The kids especially enjoyed being able to throw water balloons at Tom.





Elise enjoyed her cake and the frosting. She ate her way through one cupcake and enjoyed playing with a second one.

Next we opened gifts. She got some great toys that will keep her busy for at least a little while, though at the time she seemed more interested in the wrapping paper.


This past year has flown by and we can't believe how fast it has went. We are so thankful for our children and the blessing they are in our lives.
