Ella's birthday party was on Saturday. It was a great day. I was so happy, but a little sad at the same time, too. Just watching it all, the presents, the cake....I couldn't believe that only a year ago she was a tiny, helpless little baby in my arms. Now she's a big girl :( But we sure did have a great time watching the guest of honor open presents and eat the cake! Hope you all enjoy the pictures....there were so many to choose from, so I tried just to pick my favorites (it's so hard!)

Singing 'Happy Birthday' to the Birthday girl!
Hmmmm....what's this?
Let me get a better taste....
Chubby, chocolatey hands!
Ella was clapping a lot.....the cake must have been really good!
This face is hilarious. Here we are getting ready to put her in the bathtub. I think she's a little glazed over here from all of the sugar!
Getting cleaned up....I think Ella is a little tired!
After bath, nice and comfy. My happy girl :)
Ella and Mommy after her party. We had such a wonderful time. It is a day I know I'll never forget. We got 75 pictures ALONE of the cake eating frenzy! It was great not only to get to celebrate Ella's first birthday, but to get to celebrate the most wonderful year of our lives!

Her dress is so cute! I can't imagine how much fun you had. :-) Welcome, year #2!
What a fun party - I can't believe she is one!
That face she is making when you're holding her up and she's covered in chocolate is priceless!!! I can only imagine that seeing her turn one year old is hard but you have so many memories!!! She's adorable in her party dress!
How fun! You are making sweet memories with your baby. Her party dress is darling- My favorites are the cake eating pictures for sure. Glad the dress was off for that one.
And your haircut is very cute, April! I go tomorrow to get shaped up. It is the only thing you can get shaped up when you are 8 months pregnant :).
April, I love her party dress! So glad to see that it didn't get attacked by the chocolate cake. She is so precious, congratulations! By the way, your hair looks fabulous. =)
Oh my gosh, she is SO precious diving into that cake!! I love her face in the bath, totally sugar crazed look :) Oh she is beautiful, A - and you look darling too!! I love her party dress, how cute.
What a sweet way to look at it - as a celebration of the best year of your life. It will only keep getting better.
Love you guys!
p.s. Tom - nice job on the cake!!
Those pictures are so precious. Her dress is adorable and I love her little white bow (wink). The pictures of her eating the cake are priceless! You all look so happy!
OK, the face when she's getting removed from the high chair is the best. And your hair is fantastic. Congrats, mama!
Great pics. Charlie's party will be here before we know it. Ella is a doll. I love the pic of her being blinded in her crib on the other post! And your hair is so cute.
So fun! And I LOVE the party dress! :) Ella sure is a beautiful little girl!
What a fantastic dress! The cake pictures are priceless. What a great day!
