Elle's 1st Birthday Party!

Yesterday was Elle's Fish Party at Jack's Pond Park.
It was perfect weather and we all had such a great time celebrating little Elle.



I cheated a little bit... 
I ordered a plain cake and cupcakes and then I decorated them with the fondant fish I made.

All of the different Goldfish cookie/cracker flavors.

The ducks were so full by the end of the day.
All of the kids had fun exploring down by the pond and feeding the ducks.





One of the highlights of the party was...
Papa was able to come to the party!!!
We were all so happy to have him there.




Elle really enjoyed her cake.
I had to let her have a little taste and then she dug right in.
She didn't eat very much but she sure had fun tearing it apart.















Our happy family!

After the party we were taking down the decorations and Elle got them stuck on her feet by accident.
She was pretty cute and didn't seem to mind.

On their way back from the pond.





 Happy 1st Birthday sweet Elle!
We had a wonderful time at your party.
We were so lucky to have so many of our friends and family there to celebrate with us.

We opened up all of the presents at home after Elle's nap.
 She started with a special present from her sissy!
Of course Emma was a huge help opening the gifts.

A HUGE thanks to...
Douggie for all of his help with the decorations and running around.
Abuelita for all of her help with the decorations and for bringing Papa.
Aunt Lizzy for watching the girls in the morning while we set up.
And all of our friends who showed up early and helped me in the mad dash to finish setting up.

You guys are the best and I am so lucky to have such great friends and family!
