Minnie's Party Band

My friend Candace (same one who gifted me BirchBox) knocked it out of the park again in the gift giving department! She got Ellie Minnie's Party Band for her birthday and we absolutely love it! And who knew drumsticks could double as a microphone!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Wow! I can't believe Ellie is 2 years old already! On one hand it seems as if it's flown by and on the other hand it seems as if she's been part of our family forever! We celebrated yesterday on her actual birthday with a trip to sesame street live. I have lots more pics on my camera but these are just a few I snapped with my phone!
Today we are having a party at a local gymnastics place with some family and a few other kids! The nice thing is its only an hour and a half long so we aren't trying to keep their attention forever! It should be a fun time!
Blowing Elmo Kisses at the end of the show!

Look Out!

Ellie LOVES to pretend she's driving! The other night while checking out Garfield (her favorite horse) we let her behind the wheel in the driveway! She thought she was super special especially when she honked the horn.

Sunny Days

The weather was absolutely beautiful today....minus the wind! Ellie absolutely loves being outside and especially loves farm animals. Cows, horses, chickens, etc. Anytime you asks she's always up to go see the animals! When I picked her up today we decided to take advantage of the weather and go play outside where there are some cows! We talked to the cows, played on a tractor, counted rocks and picked up sticks! Of course no post is complete without pictures! Here's some from our adventure!
