Birthday Tea Party

To celebrate Ella's special day we decided to have a tea party, even Scott joined in. (He's so sweet to participate in all the girly stuff!) We got all dressed up! Ella wore her new princess Belle gown. We had tea and her favorite snacks: M&Ms, raisins and cookies. At the end of the tea party she looked at us and said, "I'm full"! We couldn't help but laugh at our silly girl! She had a wonderful day.

Ella's Birthday Party

Ella had a blast at her bouncy birthday party! All of her friends and family came to celebrate with her. Happy Birthday baby girl! You bring so much joy to our lives! We love you!

Birthday Countdown!

Only a few more days until Ella's birthday! We can hardly believe she will be 2! I have been teaching her how old she is and how to hold her two fingers up to show others. She can sort of hold her fingers right but when I ask her how old she will be she never gives the right number. She usually says she will be 9! Two year olds say the funniest stuff.

Tea Party

We went to a mother/daughter tea party this afternoon. There was a table of girly accessories to choose from and she chose a yellow boa (which is her color of choice right now), a huge pearl necklace and two rings. We enjoyed tea sandwiches, fruit, cheesecake squares and other sweet treats. Ella's favorite was the chocolate dipped strawberries. Yum! Mimi and Grammy were there too and we had a really special time.

Sleepover

Cousin Aidan came to stay with us this weekend. We went to two family Birthday parties, stayed up really late playing and slept in this morning. They were lazy all morning long watching the Backyardigans, Ella's favorite.

Easter 2009

So, I'm a little behind posting these! We had a wonderful Easter filled with great food, egg hunts and spending lots of time with family. The Easter Bunny was kind to Ella too. She liked her Tinkerbell magic wand and her jewelry the best. We dyed eggs on Saturday and then met my family for a picnic and egg hunt at Rose Hill. Then we had a cookout with Scott's family and had another egg hunt. On Sunday we had a great service at church and then headed to my grandparent's house for lunch and then to feed the ducks with Grammy and Pop-Pop. We had so much fun at all the festivities!

Spring Break

We had such a great Spring Break week! Aidan came up one day with Mimi and Grandaddy and took Ella to Monkey Joe's. She had fun jumping but she still likes the chalkboard area much better. Then we went to the lake to spend a couple of days with Grammy and PopPop. We did all kinds of fun stuff. We had an egg hunt, found a lizard and caterpillars, went fishing and rode the golf cart. Then Daddy was off with us on Friday and we had planned to visit th zoo but the weather was yucky, so we went shopping instead. We had such a fun week off!
