Celebrating One Year- Family Style

Today we officially had Eleanor's one year party. Eric's brother and sister-in-law....along with our nephews Zeke and Daniel came in from Georgia. The children's Gigi (Eric's mom) was here as well. It was low key and lots of fun. It is always nice to celebrate one of our babies birthdays, but visit with family as well.

Oh Sassy- we have loved this past year with you. You have brought even more joy to our home. In the past week you have become this wild child! You are everywhere and into everything.
Also-Eleanor went for her one year check-up this past week and weighs 21 pounds (75th percentile) and is in the 75th percentile for height. Her head circumference was in the 95th percentile.


The Williamson came bearing gifts for Eleanor, but brought a treat for the boys as well! 

Hampton showing Zeke is train. Needless to say, Hampton was our entertainer. 

And Daniel was so sweet to Eleanor.

 

I loved watching all the children interact.

It was fun to finally decorate with pink!

The menu for lunch was simple, but good- barbecue chicken sandwiches, broccoli slaw, macaroni and cheese, chips, raw veggies, and an assortment of fruit.

 

And for dessert-cupcakes with almond frosting, courtesy of Black Mountain Bakery. 

Eleanor is a lover of food, but she is not fond of sweets. This was her first true sweet and she was not into it at all. No complaints from me though. I am glad she likes the healthy stuff!

Our tradition is to take the 1 year picture while having their cake/cupcake. 

 

The best shot we could get of all the cousins together.

Hampton liked the big boys.

And Zeke was so kind to read to Everett

And they both share a love of the Beatles! Everett was giving requests.

Such a fun day celebrating one year with Eleanor!
