Ella the Flower Girl

 Not only was Ella headed to Seattle to celebrate Cousin Betty's wedding, she had a very important role in the wedding itself - she was flower girl with Cousin Heidi!  Here are some pics of the incredible cuteness.  Michael said the girls did great.  I commented that Ella seemed to have a big smile in most of the pics and he said that she smiled almost the entire time.  Looks like her and Heidi had the flower petal tossing down like champs!

1st Plane Ride

Ready for takeoff!  Headed to Seattle with Daddy to celebrate cousin Betty's wedding. 

Ella is 5!!!!!

Lots of festivities to celebrate this little one's big birthday!  On the 30th Ella decided she wanted to go to Los Tios for dinner, so the grandparents and Jean and Tom met us for dinner.  She mostly wanted to go to Los Tios for the pralines you get at the end of dinner!  Then we came back to the house to open presents.  She got lots of fun stuff, including some pink princess roller skates so that she doesn't have to share with Addy anymore.

The BIG celebration was last Sunday when we had a bunch of her good girlfriends from school over for a very pink princess party.  All the girls had a great time and everything was quite peaceful without 5 year old boys running around!

 No princess party would be complete without a pink princess castle cake.

 

 There is no such thing as too much face paint.

 

 The girls didn't sit still much during the party, but they all seemed to enjoy the magic show with Honey Dew the clown.

 

 Bouncing princesses!

Happy Easter

A little egg hunting, church and Easter dinner.  We got a bit more dressed up than we do when we celebrate at the beach, but nice to switch it up now and again.
