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.

Mamaw Minnie, Ella, and Anna
"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!

Anna's Birthday!

Anna turned ONE on September 4!

She had her one-year check-up on 9/5, and she is "just perfect." She is 30in tall and 20lbs 11oz. She is walking, running, and climbing anywhere and everywhere possible. She says about 10 words including mama, daddy, baba (bottle), nummy, baby, bob bob (yes, another Spongebob fan), dat to (thank you), and some more that I can't remember right now. Overall, she is one perfect, wonderful, sweet, and loving little baby girl!
