The Birthday Bash

Not so sure what to think about the Elmo cake.

Great Marty, Nana, Aunt June and Aunt Susie, watching Ella's DVD of the first year. Drew was so proud of his handy work!!

Auntie Mimi and Ella.

Ella's Elmo cake, that I made. It took quite some time to ice, but it was totally worth it. She loved her Mo Mo cake so much, she wouldn't eat it, next year I'll make a cake that looks like something she doesn't love so much.

Drew's Parents, aka Olive Oil and Popeye!!!

More Birthday Pictures

Here are more pictures from Ella's actual first birthday. Here's Ella "reading" her birthday card from Grandma and Grandpa Moulis. They found a card that sings the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Ella can't get enough of it. I think they could have given her just that and she would have LOVED it!!!

Playing with you new gifts from Auntie Abbey Grace, Elmo of course!!!

Going down the slide at Chick-fil-a, she wanted to go over and over again.

Sliding with Daddy.

Dad, Ella and Mo Mo, is there anything better than that???

Ella Turns 1!!!!

Big birthday lunch at Ella's favorite restaurant...Chick-fil-a!!! I think this should be their next ad campaign!!!

Her new chair from grandma and grandpa Moulis. Snuggling with her favorite gift ever, MO MO!!!

Opening her gift from Aunt Mammy, a Fridge DJ. She is too funny, she walks around holding this and dancing. Thanks Mammy!!!

Loving TCBY fro-yo cake on her actual birthday.

Ok, I know I have been very very delayed in posting for the last month or so, I apologize. Its been a busy month getting ready for Ella's first birthday. I can hardly believe I have a 1 year old. It almost seems impossible. She has been so much fun this past year and it just seems to get better and better. Drew and I are so blessed to have such a sweet, funny, happy baby. Ella rocks our world!!! So, here are pictures from this past week of festivities. My parents came in town on Wednesday so they could be here for her actual birthday on Thursday. My sister came in on friday and two of my cousins drove up from St. Louis on Saturday to be here for the party. We had so much fun. Thank you all for making this such a special time for our family!!!
