Happy Birthday Elise!
Yesterday was Elise’s first birthday. I baked her a zucchini cake; she’ll get all the traditional messy frosting at her party Saturday. And Scott and I gave her her birthday presents from us, so now I’m going to overwhelm you with pictures. Enjoy!

What great pictures. She really looks like she is helping open the presents. I’m impressed. She’s ready for Saturday. The doggie picture is so cute.
Isabel only knows 4 signs and rarely uses them. We manage just fine.
