Party Like It's 1999!

Okay, maybe Eleanor wasn't alive in 1999, but she sure is a Prince lover. And really, who isn't? This song, though, could have been the theme song for Eleanor's birthday party last weekend. It was crazy, full of City Barbeque, Care Bears, and icing! And in case you didn't know, check out this little known fact: sugar + guests + no nap = grumpy!

This is Winnie and Eleanor celebrating Oct. 2, 2008 together. Ellie and I took the morning off and went to First Watch for breakfast and we went to get her 1st year pictures. 1 year olds are hard to catch, so, yea, it's crappy picture - what's your deal?

Eleanor and Daddy getting ready to go to the sitter's on Friday morning - she is wearing what Andy likes to call her "hairy jumper". If you're an About a Boy fan, you know what we're talking about.

Eleanor's birthday happened to be during the week of Sycamore's Homecoming, so we got all did-up in spirit (wearing the beautiful sweater that Katie Andolina made before Ms. Eleanor was born) and cheered until we could no longer spit up. Sycamore stomped all over Lakota East to become victorious in their homecoming!

John: How about this pose, Ellie?
Eleanor: It's pretty stupid, but you're the guest.

On the day of the party, Eleanor got a little bit of a big head.
Eleanor: Bring my loyal subjects to me.

Eleanor's mini-cake for her first cake-tasting.

Care Bears can make any party awesome!

Emily: Ellie, look at the camera.
Eleanor: I'm busy; come back later.

DELICIOUS CAKE!!! NOM NOM NOM!!!

What are you looking at? Do I have something on my face?

Cincinnati is full of losing teams. Therefore, we are very accepting of all other losers.

Wrigley (in the voice of Stewie from Family Guy): Someone remove this tiny human.
Eleanor: This doggy acts like he doesn't like me. He's so funny.

Eleanor: I bet he'll like this, too.

To finish the birthday weekend off right, let's wipe Ellie's nose. It makes everyone so happy!
