Birthweek Part 2: The Actual Day

November 13th, 2008, was pretty quiet, uneventful, and nice. Ellie woke up as usual, happy and ready to start her day.

We went out to dinner to celebrate but Daddy forgot the camera. Then home to open some pressies. I've never bought one of those balloons before, I think Pete thought I was a little crazy but I couldn't resist. She only turns one once after all.

We were going to give her a little cake to play with but it was getting late and she was running out of steam.
