Birthday in Review

Friday morning Dad got us out of bed rather early so we could open presents before he left for work. At first Ellie just sat and stared at her first gift, not really knowing what to do. See tried going to the toy box a few times, but her Dad kept bringing her back!
She finally got her present open!! but sad news when we unzipped the package the outside of the tunnel was all dirty and gross, obviously someone had used it ALOT and then taken it back! We still let Ellie crawl though a couple of times before it went back to the store with an angry Dad. Now we have to find another one online. At least she is to young to know any better. Next year I am opening things up before I wrap them LESSON LEARNED!!After playing with her tunnel we opened up her gift from Great Grandma Sims, she got a package of the cutest socks from Baby Gap and a dollar bill to spend on anything. We put the dollar in her piggy bank for college. Thanks Grandma Sims we loved the gift!!The rest of the day we played with toys, went swimming with my friend Brook and her daughters at a great pool! THANKS! Then that night we had them over for a BBQ and a little game of basketball. Ellie was exhausted by the end of the day, but hopefully she had a great 1st birthday!!
On a side note she said her first REAL word besides momma and daddy on Sunday morning before church. She said BRADY and then we managed to get a GRANDPA, but that's all and she hasn't wanted to repeat them again:)
