Happy birthday, Eloise Joy!

Eloise's first birthday was Saturday, October 8th!  It is so amazing to me to watch her growing into a little person.  Truly we are blessed to have her as our daughter. 
Although we did not have a party she still received a lot of presents!  She was more intrigued with the wrapping paper than the actual gifts, until she got to her Grandma Williams' prize. 




Grandma Williams made Eloise Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls!  Eloise loves dolls!  She lights up when she sees then and converses with them at length.   

Among her gifts was a cozy custom coat from her aunts Veronica and Victoria at Bella Jean Boutique, just in time for our blustery weather!



Aunt Susie made Eloise a very special birthday cake.  (Note: This is home video... :-)

Here's what my birthday girl did while I blogged about her!
