Happy Birthday Elliot

20090516-20090516-DSC_0356

Sweet little Elliot turned 1 year old last Sunday. Elliot is such a fun-loving little guy. He is so intrepid, always seeking a new adventure, whether that be trying to climb into Oliver's big-boy bed (quite a feat considering even Oliver needs a step-stool), or quality testing all the toys in the house by a) chewing on them, or b) throwing them down the stairs. He is so cute and funny!

We had a quiet birthday celebration for him at home. Our friend Brad came over for dinner and then we had present opening and cake. It was pretty low key. I was very happy that Elliot ate his cake. I made a vanilla-orange cake with blueberry filling and orange butter cream frosting. It turned out pretty well. Elliot liked the cake but he especially liked the blueberries.

Cute, cute guy. Happy birthday Elliott!

(And, as a side note, can we get the recipe for that cake?!? It sounds divine. Although I'm not nearly the chef you are so maybe I shouldn't even ask!)

Hi Anna - it's Natalee (Bryan Gibson's wife). I stumbled on your blog from his and can I just say I am SALIVATING over that cake? Really. I want it. It looks really good. And happy birthday to Elliott too. :)

Hey Halversons! The boys are getting so big! I can't believe Elliot is already 1! Hope all is well. We miss y'all!
