Ella's Third Birthday

So, Friday was Ella's 3rd Birthday, and she was soooo excited to go and start the celebrations. Brian had to go into work, so I had to hold them off for a little while. However, Daddy was able to get off a little early and we met him for lunch at Red Robin. After filling our bellies, we went to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks". The kids absolutely loved the movie. The weather was a little miserable, but we seemed to manage. After the movie, we headed back home. We put the finishing touches on Ella's cake....the kids thought they were little pastry chefs or something. LOTS of sprinkles and "polka-dots" of icing (Mommy didn't help matters by trying to write the birthday girl's name on the cake). Yikes!! Nontheless, Ella thought it was the best cake ever! Nannie and Papa came over and then Ella got to open up her presents. She just couldn't stop smiling...it was absolutely adorable.

It's hard to believe that our sweet baby is already 3. It doesn't seem like that long ago when I was bringing our new baby home, and we were still living in Arizona. What a fun Christmas that was!

Love to all - Brian, Kim, Zach, Lauren, Tess & "Birthday Girl" Ella
