Rose's Birthday Dress Rehearsal!

No, Rose has not actually had her 1st birthday yet, however we were visiting my family in Mass. last week and celebrated her birthday early. As you may have guessed Rose loves Elmo so that was our party theme. I had fun making the Elmo cake and she loved it. Rose had fun with her cousins Brooklyn and Ben. She loved to kiss Ben and would stand up high on her tippy toes to give him a hug and a kiss. Everytime she opened a present she got very excited and clapped her hands. Her uncle Jake and Aunt April spoiled her with "Shout" Elmo doll, which I think was her favorite gift. She loves to dance with Elmo. Her other favorite activity at Mim and Papa's was to go UP UP UP! (the stairs that is) she would constantly go to the stairs and yell UP UP UP! until one of us would help her walk up stairs. While in Mass. we also attended my little cousin's 2nd birthday, she was a preemie so even though she is a year older than Rose they are almost the same size. After our time in Mass., my mom joined me on the plane with Rose while Mike headed to Seattle--we'll share more of those pictures soon. Enjoy!
