The Birthday Party...

The invitation...

We had a little party for Travis and Ella on sunday, it was a lot of fun. Travis loves sharing this day with Ella and he really thinks it was a blessing that she was born on his birthday because he really doesn't like to be in the spotlight! We had the Shupe's over and the Wagstaff's (they watched Ella for us while we were on our cruise so there was a special little bond formed between them and Ella, I wish I could invite my whole family but we just don't have the space for it, and even without them we still had 30 people here, so it was a full house) Ella loved the attention and loved her cake, she wasn't that interested in opening presents so its a good thing she had so many helpers in that department. Thank you to everyone for making this a special day for our family. Happy birthday El's and Trav, we love you! We always tell Parley that his birthday is after dad's and Ella's so everyday he has been asking me if it is his birthday, he really can't wait!

The two birthday kids!

The bday boy...

Travis was so lucky :) his bday fell on a fast sunday, so I didn't even get to make him breakfast!

I got an idea from our enrichment night on traditions to make a movie for my kids on their birthdays of pictures of that year, so we made one for Ella and she loves it!! We watched it all day that day and she would just squel and laugh. it was so fun!

Travis even had lots of help opening his presents, I don't think he had to open one!

This is the little horsie we gave her, she loves it.

Here she is watching the movie again...
