Saturday we had Elijah's first birthday party. It was a good time by all! We ate breakfast tacos, opened presents, played with Elijah's new toys and had pumpkin apple harvest cupcakes with cream cheese frosting that I made. We played a drawing game where everyone had to draw a picture of Elijah - you had 30 seconds to draw something then pass the picture along so that everyone drew part of most of the pictures. Despite some initial party-pooper comments about the game, I think everyone enjoyed it - especially laughing at the final pictures - we'll just say some lack artistic talent. Elijah was so pooped out after a long morning that he passed out on Aunt Crystal -- she gave him a "cool" hair style while he slept, pictures below.

You won't believe what he got the most excited about opening - SOCKS! But he loved unwrapping all the presents.

He loved the balloons and balls we had put all around the house. He was exhausted after a full day and just about passed out in the high chair.
But he waited and fell asleep on Aunt Crystal (and got all sweaty). The combination of icing and sweat in his hair made for great styling. This is him when he woke up from his nap.

He was most excited about opening SOCKS??!! Too bad he'll outgrow that stage quickly. Just think of the money you could save on future birthdays and Christmas if he kept that affinity for socks. Haha.
