Ella's Birthday: Part One

I always said that I was never going to have a Halloween themed party for Ella, and here it is, only her second party. I feel like they should get a little more use out of them, and all the kids were so dang cute. We had some family and friends over to my in laws house to celebrate the big 2. We had chili, soup, cornbread, sugar cookie decorating, and a pinata. It was great. Thanks to everyone for coming and all the fun new presents.

If you look closely at Ella's cookie you can see she had just dumped a whole thing of sprinkles right on her cookie

Thanks to Adam and Jake for the Barbie

The pinata- it was fun but a little sad for Ella. She had been playing with Elmo all week. Pushing him around the house in her doll stroller and she was a little distraught when we were beating him with a stick:) Now she says, " Hit Elmo, whoosh, candy out."

The funny things Miss Ella says

Stewart and I were trying to decide what to do with Ella so we were spelling out words. We talked about going to the p-a-r-k! We didn't even think she was paying attention. In the car she says, " I want to go to the p-r-ck and play." I don't even know how she knew what we were spelling. A few letter off but that is pretty good:)

We asked Ella if she wanted to go get ice cream after the park and she said, " I want strawberry ice cream with sprinklers."

We were shopping and I said to Ella, "you are a monkey," and she looked at me and said.... " I not a monkey I a child of God!"

Stewart and I are getting new phones in a few days. Yesterday I said to him, "guess what we get in just a few more days?", and Ella says to me (very excited) "PRESENTS."

The other night I was getting Ella ready for bed. I was brushing Ella's teeth in the bathroom and she was acting really silly so I called her a tool. She says to me, " no, I a hammer:)"

Ella's fav pastime is reading books. My Mom got her a book about the Nativity. We were reading it and she was pointing everyone out. She then pointed to one of the wise men with a white beard and said, "this king Triton." (The little mermaid)
