Eden Turns 1!

Eden turned 1 last Sunday on April 29th!  Here she is before heading to church in her birthday dress from her Great-Aunt Patty.

We had her birthday dinner

and then it was time to open presents!!

 Tennyson picked out this pink flamingo for Eden--you know...the kind you stick in your front yard!! I thought this gift was hilarious! We definitely got a good laugh.  I love it when you let the kids pick out their own gifts.  They are always so creative...like the tube of toothpaste that Tennyson picked out last Christmas for Conan! We will be laughing over that for years to come, and now, we'll have to add this infamous flamingo to that as well. Eden LOVES her flamingo--one of her favorite gifts for sure!
Her Grandpa Stillians sent this fun giraffe toy and

 her Grandma Walker and Great-Aunt Carol sent her these Cabbage Patch dolls! Remember those? I had two of my own too and loved playing with them.  I think Edie-Girl is going to love her Cabbage Patch dolls too.

Last but not least, Conan and I gave Edie these stacking cups.  She thinks these are pretty fun to knock down...that is if her brothers aren't playing with them!

Then of course it was time for everyone's favorite--CAKE!  Conan made this awesome strawberry cake for Eden.  He did everything minus the seeds and writing which I did at the end.  I am quite impressed with his cake making skills!

Eden immediately stuck her hands in her cake

and then stared at them for awhile trying to figure out what to do with them.

She didn't like the frosting all over her hands and started to fuss because she didn't know what to do.  Conan gave her a taste of frosting, and the rest is history!


This girl licked her fingers clean and ate nearly all her birthday cake!
Happy 1st Birthday Edie-Girl!
We love you!

I love Eden's curly locks! And I love the way you decorated the kitchen area with all the kiddos art! Will you tell Tennyson that I want him to draw me something before I leave for Africa!
