Eleanor Turns One!

Eleanor turned one today! We had such a fun day. I didn't have anything planned special for her to wear, but I did find the pink dress that we brought her home in. I had her wear it as a tunic and paired it with a pair of Gap skinny jeans. And she wore her new gold shoes! She is still getting used to shoes.

We went to Panera Bread this morning for breakfast. We had bagels, cinnamon rolls, and pumpkin muffins. So good! And the children were so behaved.  

We then went home and Eleanor went down for a nap.

After Eleanor's nap we went to Everett's preschool for orientation. Everett went with his classmates and teacher while Hampton, Eleanor, and I stayed for the meeting. It was so hard to keep Hampton contained and I probably looked like a mess trying to do so. I am so excited for Everett to start pre-K tomorrow! 

After orientation we went to Chick fil A and picked up lunch. This is not our norm, but I wanted to keep today special. 

And they loved it! They ate a huge lunch.

After lunch we all went down for naps. Everett didn't nap, but had his "rest time." After lunch we went upstairs and played. This girl is into everything! She is definitely keeping me on my toes. She is on the move always.

And she is so silly! She has the best sense of humor.

She loves to play with her noise machine in her room.
 
 
 Later this afternoon, the children's Gigi came in town. We had tortellini for dinner and then did the whole bath time, bed time routine.
We had such a fun day celebrating Eleanor. I still cannot believe she is now one. I think we may have sang Happy Birthday about a dozen times. She is so special to us.
