Nana's Birthday dinner! "Happy Birfday, Nana!"

Christmas Eve family dinner, and of course lots of presents. These are two lucky girls...





The highlight of the night...Hula outfits from Hawaii.



There is a video of the hula girls on facebook. It won't load here, so be sure to go there to check it out.

Thanksgiving 2008!

This Thanksgiving was a first for the girls - no Nana! Nana went to Hawaii to see Baby Cadence (and Jason and Becky), so Papaw and the Pearsalls had a little Thanksgiving for ourselves.


The girls got a couple of early Christmas presents from our friend Bonnie. Anna loved the talking Elmo (Melmo, as she calls him).

Of course, the two girls love to ham it up for the camera!

Happy Halloween! From: Mommy, Daddy, Princess Ella, and Lil' Stinker




As you can see, Anna was super-cute and the hit of the night. A complete stranger even stopped us to ask if he could take her picture.

Pretty girls in pretty dresses.

Ella and Anna's big birthday party!!

We had a wonderful birthday party for Ella and Anna on Saturday 9/13. Thanks to all our guests - the girls had an awesome time.

"Dad, what the heck am I supposed to do with this?"
"Oh, I see. I like this!! Yummy!"
Brooke and Will had fun, too!
Nana and Anna having fun.

Natalie loved the party favors!
Ella and Anna received awesome ukuleles straight from Hawaii! Thanks Aunt Becky and Uncle Jay!
"Okay Ella, you open that present while I chew on this book."
"Boring clothes! Gimme something good!" (Just kidding - Mommy loves all the clothes!)
"See Anna, this is how you open a gift!"
"Oooh, bubbles!"Ella, Anna, and Natalie playing in the ball pit! Good call on the gift Hunter, Jamie, Katy, and Ron.

Ella discovered that throwing the balls out and watching Bonnie fetch them was just as exciting as actually playing in the balls.
"Birthday parties are exhausting. I think I'll just take a little nap."Thanks everyone for the great party!
