Look who turned ONE...!

Sitting with Grandpap!

Make a wish!

"YUM!! I LOVE frosting!!"
Opening presents!

All tuckered out after a long day!

Ella Bean, our beautiful-no-longer-a-baby, turned ONE this week! On Wednesday, Ella celebrated with her playgroup friends at our house for a birthday luncheon, and then on Saturday, she celebrated with family and close family friends. Food, cake, presents, play, laughter and pure fun was had by all! Happy Birthday sweet **BIG** girl!!

Where did the year go? It seems like yesterday when we brought Ella home from the hospital--wondering how this perfect little baby girl could possibly be ours. I don't think we could fathom how fast Ella's first year of year of life would go by--how fast she would grow--how much she would change and continue to flourish day to day--and how much our hearts would grow.
