Ella's 2nd birthday bash

On Dec. 11 we celebrated Ella's 2nd birthday with a candy-themed birthday bash. All the grandparents made it to KC for the celebration, even Great-Grandma Norma! Our other party guests consisted of Uncle Joe, Aunt Amy and Cousin Kendall. It was a perfect low-key party. Ella had so much opening her presents. I had to bribe her to go to daycare the next day. She did not want to leave her new toys.

Ella has never had a desire to take off her clothes, until her birthday. I guess she decided to wear her birthday suit.

Who gave the two-year old a knife?!

Ella doesn't like frosting; we're not just lazy.
