Ella's day

Unfortunately our Ella Bella was a little under the weather (shouldn't that be illegal on your Birthday?) so we ended up having a mellow day at home. What I realized from it? You don't have to spend an entire day going and doing to make the day special. Plus it's cheeper.
We had french toast sticks for breakfast and spent the morning playing with her new toys. All we needed to get her was the Princess dress. She had it on all day long, except for while she was eating hence our little birthday nude.
This evening was great. The Wilkins crew came over for pizza and cake. We are so, so grateful that we're all so close. Its so nice to still have family to be with so frequently and especially for special occasions. And thanks to them for getting her the cutest dress coat I have ever laid eyes on.
When she's feeling well she and Mom are going to go get her first manicure at Happy Nails. Because big girls get to do things like pamper themselves. And Mommies have girls for these reasons.


The gang. Eventally when Livvie is a little older there will finally be one more girl in all of our pictures.

Luke got to eat his first regular cupcake and frosting as we realized a few regular store brand's were dairy-free. He was so thrilled to be able to eat the regular Birthday treats with everyone else. Its been 2 years since he's been able to do that.

Seriously, how cute is Dillon?

I think she just ate the frosting.
