Ella's 1st Birthday!!!

Ella is now 1 year old and to celebrate we had a big Luau birthday party for her. Actually it was a dual party to Ella and Cole (my sister Lori's son, who turned 1 just a few days before Ella). The celebration was held at Lori's house and it was the perfect day. It has been raining the day before and earleir the day of the party, but about an hour or so before the celebration the sun came out and it turned out to be a great day. Below are some pictures of the events:

Ella's cake that came with a "smash cake" as well, which is in the next couple pictures.

Here is Ella tasting cake for the first time. She started off pretty timid, but as you'll see in the next couple of pictures, she go the idea.



After awhile, she was really having fun smashing into that cake.

Our friend, Kristen, drove up from the other side of PA to see us and celebrate Ella's birthday with us. It was great seeing her, since we had not seen her in awhile.


Here is Ella opening presents, actually she was not that interested in opening them, so David and I did most of that. She was too busy playing with the other kids and toys around the house.
