Ella's first Birthday!

So Ella's first birthday came and went. It was a really great day. BUSY! But great. We woke up to our smiling little Ella who was newly 1 year old. We had made it -- all three of us! The first year is so changing and wonderful -- lots of emotions and events and ups and downs for sure. We opened the 2 gifts that had come via snail mail from Great Aunt Susie and Great Gramma Rhey. Thank you to you both -- Ella LOVED the ducky slippers and wash cloth and LOVED the babydoll from Aunt Susie -- complete with Pachoulli scent -- mmm!




A gift from Great Gramma Rhey: Ducky slippers, loofa, and Ducky bath puppet :)

The birthday party was great too -- very high energy and busy. We were so happy our family and special friends were there to help Ella celebrate her big day! A HUGE thank you to "Gigi" and "Grand-dad" for the "hall rental" for Ella's bash. We owe them big time for sure! We had lots of tunnels and a pink tent thanks to our great neighborhood pals. The kids had a great time!











*** Love to you all.
