Boppie and Ella taking a bath.
Showing how she washes her back.
Ella and Daddy reading before bed while snuggled up in Ella's new quilt.
I looked at these the other day and burst into tears. Soon there will be a little girl holding a 3.
GiGi and Ella reading her new Dr. Seuss book.
While wearing her new hat.
At the park having a great time!
We woke up on Joe's graduation morning and our neighbor had put these by our door.
Getting ready for the big event!
Ella and Boppie getting ready.
Ella insisted on wearing her glitter shoes for the occasion.
The Basilica
It's blurry, but there he is!
It's official!
Everyone was so proud of him!
Ella didn't know what to think of daddy's robe, but she loved his "silly hat."
The Basilica. It's such a beautiful building!
Joe grabbed Ella a rose from one of the table bouquets.
Wearing her very special graduation dress that GiGi made.
Grammy and GiGi showing Ella how to frost cupcakes.
Red, White and Blue were the frosting options.
We might have a future baker on our hands!
And yes, Ella licked the spreader for each frosting color.
GiGi taught her how to do it.
And star sprinkles on top.
Ta-Da! The finished product with the master decorators (and Grammy is the master baker who made the cupcakes)
GiGi and Ella having a very serious conversation.
My new Pioneer Woman cookbook, thanks to my friend Bonnie.
The purple tabs mark all the recipes that Joe wants me to make.
This is a typical conversation with Ella. She just talks and talks and goes from one thing to the next.
I think the face she makes when she tries to stick out her tongue is so funny!
