Happy Birthday Ella!

We celebrated Ella's birthday this weekend. She loves being a princess. Her favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty. She sings the words and dances around the house. So of course, her cake had to be Aurora. I just couldn't resist. What little girl doesn't want a pink tutu and fairy wings? The shoes were about three sizes too big, so she'll have to wait a little while to wear them.

Great Grandma gave her a card that plays the Sleeping Beauty theme. Ella LOVED it, and kept opening it to hear it again and again!

Laura is so creative. She found this doll house on Craig's list. She took all the old stickers off, found really cute clip art on line, and then ModPodged them onto the house. Ella's house has wallpaper, princess posters in the girl's room, rugs, temple pictures in the living room, her family picture, a bookcase, and lots more. Both she and Gordon had a great time playing with it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Up, Up, and Away!

On Wednesday, February 10, I did my first Jet Blue "stand by". Alison is working for Jet Blue and as her parents, we get to fly for free. Woohoo!!! I flew to the Long Beach airport which, by the way, is a piece of aviation history. I felt like I landed in 1923. If you ever long for the simpler days, just book a flight to Long Beach. It's a cute airport! Laura pulled up curbside and we were soon off to her home in Los Angeles. We got things ready and packed for our road trip. Eric's family came Saturday, and we had fun playing in the court, decorating valentine cookies, and eating Valentine food (pink alfredo and heart shaped pizza).
