Opening up presents
Saying thank you
When I asked Ella what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday she said she wanted a strawberry cake. So I made her a strawberry ice cream cake and she seemed to enjoy it. I think she got my tastes in treats. . .if she had her dad's she would have said chocolate for sure!
On the morning of Ella's real birthday her Dad and I had a special surprise present for her. We took out the table and benches in our breakfast nook (which we never use anymore)and turned it into a little playroom for Ella. She went crazy over it and is now constantly asking us to come play with her in there. It will also come in really handy for us as we try to start moving Maggie over into Ella's room and out of ours! It was so fun to give her a present that she appreciates so much!
She also got a "ELLA" book to read. . .
We love our little Ella so much. . .it is amazing to think she is 2 years old. She is so smart and has so much personality. She constantly amazes us with the things she figures out and always makes us laugh with the funny things she says.
She loves doing anything that Mommy does: taking care of babies, cleaning, gardening and cooking seem to be at the top of her list. (Let's hope she still enjoys these things when she is big enough to really help out!) But she is also into trains and trucks, so she is not too girly yet. Oh, and did I mention she LOVES Elmo!
She loves being the center of attention at home and shows off and acts so silly, but when she is around strangers she can be SO shy! It is so funny, if anyone talks to her that she doesn't know she will just stare them down and not say a word. What a silly girl!
We love her so much and just can't imagine our life without her. Happy Birthday Ella, we cannot wait to see what the next year brings!

Happy Birthday darling Ella.
Can't wait to see you in a couple of months!
Happy Birthday Ella! We really do wish we could have celebrated with you guys and been their for the blessing. I'm glad she likes the gift and we definitely need to make up for lost time this fall. Thanks again for Emily's Bday present. She still plays with it everyday. And I love the 'playroom.' Too bad we didn't have that a year ago, huh?
PS July 27th is the big day. The U/S is scheduled for 3:30pm.

I can't believe she's two years old! Happy Birthday. Did you make a little playroom for Ella? I don't remember that area when we were there last. It looks like she had a blast. We really miss you guys. I can't wait until your here in October. P.S. Could you make me one of those cakes when you are here? No seriously.
