We celebrated Ella's 2nd birthday on Saturday with friends and family and also had an early Christmas with my family. My parents were here and both my brothers and their wives (well Kristen will be Zac's wife by next Thurs night!!). Going into the weekend Ella was pretty aware that it was Christmas time and by Friday night, knew that her birthday was the next day. Her head must have been spinning though... opening birthday presents at 11:30 and Christmas presents at 2:00. I made a Barney cake for her, she is still in love with the purple guy. Everytime she saw her cake before and after Saturday she'd say, "Happy Birthday, Ella!" She was a pro at unwrapping presents by the time this weekend came to an end, so she will be in shape for Christmas in Rapid City. We leave for Tim & Margaret's on Christmas Eve! Here we come McKinstry Family!
Thanks everyone for making it such a special weekend!
Gift #1, food for Ella's kitchen
Not too bad, right?
While she liked the cake, she really loved the ice cream
Diving in!
I'm thinking of using this as our Christmas card photo next year
