Turning Two

On June 2nd, our little Ella turned two! This summer has all ready been packed and crazy, so fitting in a time that worked for all family members to get together for a party was challenging, so we decided to have a party with just the three of us. And where else would we go, but Burger King! Anywhere that she could have "chicken and cries" (that's fries in Ella language) would make her happy as a clown. It was so fun to be there together, just us three, to celebrate. I savor the moments the three of us have together, because soon we'll be a party of four.

Waiting so patiently...

Still waiting, come on all ready!
Sweet sugar at last! Mmmm!!!

Then, the following Sunday we met at Nana and Papa Walker's house for family dinner, complete with mashed potatoes and gravy, one of Ella's favorite dishes. Dinner was followed by presents, running through the sprinklers, and of course, "Happy Birthday Cake!" Auntie Nee nee made the cake, confetti with a big, red Mickey head, since now all Ella does is eat, sleep, and watch/sing/think all things Disney these days.

I can't believe our little Peanut is two! It goes by so fast. I love our little family so much. What a blessing she has been in our lives. These last few months have been challenging for us, but taking time to enjoy the little things in life, especially together as a family, has really helped us grow together. We count our blessings every day, and thank our Heavenly Father for all he has blessed us with, especially our sweet little girl.
