3!!!

It's hard to believe that Ella turned 3 on January 5 but alas, she did. Another year has whisked by so quickly. Although, I've come to the realization that having her birthday fall so close to Christmas is going to be an ongoing challenge, it still makes for a fun kickoff to the new year! Even though we didn't have a big party, Ella still seemed to grasp the idea that it was "Her" special day and savored all the attention. She got a big kick out of the "trick" candles we put on her cake. But, she tired quickly of blowing the candles out repeatedly and grabbed her fork and dug into the bright pink & yellow dream cake. YUM!! Now, this may make some people cringe, but I found it quite amusing and need to share. The next day there was a note in Ella's backpack from her school teacher saying "Ella's stool today was pink in appearance and playdoe like in texture". Hahaha, funny stuff.

Uh-hul B called to wish Ella Happy Birthday just as she was blowing out the candles. She was filling him in on the trick we played on her.
