Ellie's first birthday.

On January 8th, Ellie turned one. I can't believe the past year has gone by so quickly. We celebrated with a party at home. Mamaw and PaPAw made homemade chicken and beef dumplings, we had a green salad, and I made chocolate cupcakes and banana cupcakes. Ellie seemed to enjoy her special day with close friends and family.
Over the past week, I have seen a change in the way Ellie is interacting with me. She seems to be trying to communicate a lot more. Her personality is starting to show even more. She reminds me of her great grandmother Camp.
My favorite thing to do is watch the way Ellie and Aspen interact together. The love they have for one another just amazes me.
