A Party for Ellie :)

Auntie D wanted to throw a little get together in honor of Ellie's arrival so that some of her in-laws could come up from Mass. and meet her ... Saturday was the day and the party was a success!
.
Ellie was all dressed up for the occasion and was awake the whole time
(except for a quick power nap during present opening!)
.

.
...and, boy oh boy, were there a lot of presents to open!
.

.
Even Iz got a present...homemade by her Great Auntie M :)

.

.
Great Great Auntie M made Ellie something too...a BEAUTIFUL quilt

(so wish I had a picture of it opened up...but I wasn't the photographer)
.

.
Having the relatives up gave us the opportunity to snap a picture of something you DEFINITELY don't see every day...

~FIVE GENERATIONS~

.

.
The poor guys, suffering through a baby shower...and Elie taking a power nap :)
.

.
L had a lot of help opening gifts...some she didn't even get to see, I think! I kept having to remind Iz to show things to SnL before everyone else since the presents were for THEIR baby!
.

.
Nannie made Ellie a blanket too!!!You can never have too many, that's for sure!
.

.
I think Iz liked the wrapping paper better than most of the gifts...and opening them was a lot more fun than what was actually inside!
.

.
The guest of honor...what a doll
.

.
Wondering what she's staring so intently at?
.
The ceiling fan - it's her favorite thing at her Nana's house...besides her Nana, of course! :)
