It's About Time (Eliza's Birthday Post)

There have been a couple of requests for a post of Eliza's birthday. On a momentous occasion such as her first birthday we had to make it a whole weekend instead of just the day, so that is what you get, the whole weekend. That is part of the reason it took so long, so here it is.

On Saturday morning we woke up bright and early to go to Zion National Park. We rode into the park, put our bikes on the shuttle and rode to the Temple of Sinewava. Eliza tried to talk to everyone on the Shuttle, and some even talked back. We then rode back down to the visitors center and back to the car in Springdale.

Eliza didn't make it awake to the part I thought she would most enjoy, but she still loved the ride.
As you can see she really was a Princess...
And oh yes those are all Disney Princesses on the car that Grandma sent to her, now we get to hear the music all the time.
Then she helped Dad in the garden and ate Pomegranates that fell off the tree...
And then she had her first Otter Pop with Maggie (who shares her birthday with her)....
She opened even more presents like much needed pajamas and a new purse...
Then had Birthday Cake...

and her birthday even extended one day so we could have her favorite dinner the next night, um mm spaghetti!
Yeah, we think she is pretty cute!

I was just showing the kids your blog and Lance saw that last picture of Eliza on her birthday and said "Goose, mess!" I thought it was pretty funny.

Ellie has the Mickey Mouse version of the Princess car thing. It's awesome but needs a volume switch. I can't believe Eliza is already a year! Happy Birthday!
