Dearest Lizzie. You had a wonderful first birthday (I believe) on Friday, February 23, 2012. When you woke up that morning we sang you happy birthday and brought you a birthday cake (banana bread) with whipped cream on top and a #1 candle. You looked pretty happy about that and dug right in.
Your Mami Vicki and Opi in Colorado got to see you on Skype and sing to you as well and you kept on waving to them. It was so cute. We kissed and hugged on you and gave you some presents. Bye the way, how handsome is your daddy? Pretty ruggedly handsome, huh?
You then took a nap and when you woke up, we took you to the zoo to be with all of your friends and family. You got to hang out with your aunts and tons of cousins and Grandma McAllister and your parents and we couldn't help but dress you up all cute for the event. A tutu dress!! You weren't too happy when I placed you in Aunt Jenny's arms for a bit though.
So we put you back on your daddy's shoulders where you are always happy.
You had a blast hanging out with your cousins.
We took you to see the giraffes and you couldn't get over how tall they were and you got to hang out with our friends Arriana and Kendrick.
You had the cutest ruffle bums in the world on the whole time. I had to get a picture. You also ran into another cute girl who turned one the same day! But you were pretty focused on looking at the animals to pay much attention to her.
We then gathered around you and sang you happy birthday and all ate cookies together. Good times.
You totally missed your afternoon nap but didn't seem to mind too much. You were pretty jazzed so we took you to check out the new City Creek Center which just opened downtown. It's a sight to behold.
We were quite taken with it and especially excited that it borders the temple and will really bring a touch of class to the whole downtown area. What else are you up to these days? Well, you say "Dada" when you see your dad and you say "Moooo" when I ask you what the cow says and you are a laughing happy girl and we love you big bunches. What a fast year this has been and how marvelous too! Thank you for coming into our lives, my darling. We will love you for eternity Elisabeth.
