This is really hard. I have no idea what to do for Elli's first birthday. I know that she won't really get what the commotion is about, and she won't remember it, and she'll just play with the boxes and paper...but I still want it to mean something. I was thinking about close family and friends....maybe and open house?....I will be decorated for Christmas, so the atmosphere will be nice....do people want to see her eat cake?....what do I make?....what do I get her?....how am I going to have time to clean my house, get ready for craft shows, and do everything else I need to?.....I don't know what to do. Any ideas?
By the way...today starts my first week of working and not being a manager at the store. I think it will be okay....it will be hard not to be bossy, but to take orders. Not that things are like that...it will just be different. I have already had dreams about regretting this. I am way too stressed about it all. It will be fine...right?!

Keep the party rather small. Close family and friends is what we had for Jacob. I didn't want to overwhelm him. I also did cupcakes so he could individually have his own. It worked out wonderfully.
That is a really big decision to make. As for Libby, I didn't want to go for the cake face and resulting sugar high (since she had never even had that kind of sugar yet), so she didn't even have any cake or ice cream. We just had a little family party at Scott's parents house and they got her a few gifts, but that was about it. Other family members got her gifts if they wanted to. My mother-in-law's gift to her (which will probably always be this way) was a new wardrobe for the coming season, since her birthday is in April. Not much, but she wouldn't have know what was going on anyway. Now, her second birthday will be different.
