I scream, you scream

Princess Elliot Scully turned one this past Friday, and being that she is Taylor’s one and only BFF, we had to make an appearance at the fabulous birthday party Paige and Danny threw yesterday afternoon. There were wall-to-wall kiddos and lots of new and exciting toys that Taylor was dying to fit in her mouth.

I was hoping to get a good shot of Taylor and the birthday girl, but there was way too much excitement. Luckily we had Danny there to wrangle them together for a photo.

And Taylor, of course, had her share of ice cream and also her first taste of cake. Paige not only organized the whole event, but she also baked a gorgeous, organic, made-from-scratch, tasty treat for her first born. Way to set the bar, Paige. Super mom.

And to top off the thrill of new friends and cream cheese frosting, we’re blessed to have Chris’s parents stop in Asheville for a few days on their way to Tampa. And, in true grandparent fashion, they’ve been doting on Taylor since they got here. We went to mass this morning at the Basilica, and Taylor lasted about two minutes before her Grandpa had to take her to the cry room with the rest of the naughty kids. And even though she was a nightmare the entire service, she still managed to get tons of compliments from her Grandma and Grandpa. Because she looked cute. Grandparents are suckers. I’m pretty sure she could have burned the place down and they would have just smiled and said, Oh. But look how blue her eyes look reflecting the flames. She’s just precious.
