She's Two!

Today is Ellie's birthday.
I can't believe she's already 2!
We had a fun day celebrating!

Ellie got to celebrate her birthday a day early with her aunts, uncles, cousins & grandparents.
Her cousins, Chloe & Claire, taught her how to put on her new chapstick.

This kitchen had way too many parts to put together,
but thanks to Dad, Ellie was playing with it after only a couple of hours!

Independence!


So, I was more ambitious this year and decided to make an exciting birthday cake.
Ellie's only criteria was that it was pink. This is the first time I used fondant...I think
it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself!


A few weeks ago, Ellie told me that she wanted "Everyone to sing "happy birthday" to Ellie."
She had the song sung to her at least 5 times. I think she was satisfied.


Birthday Girl!!!
