My BaBy is TWO!!!

Happy Birthday Ellie!!
Breakfast with her Buddy. (she won't call Carson by his name, it is always Bud or Buddy!!)

She loves to swing and could go for ever if I let her!We went to the park with cousin Noelle and Aunt Delena while Carson was at school. She loves slides and swings!! I can't believe she can do it all by herself now!! She has gotten big too fast.
I so love my Ellie
She LOVES frosting. She woke up the other morning and the first thing she said was "eat frosting" what ever it is on, she licks off the frosting and leaves the rest. So funny!
She loved having everyone sing to her but when it came time to blow out her candles she was scared of the flame so Carson blew it out for her.

This was my attempt to make her a flip flop cake. I had the first layer of frosting on and realized I had made two left feet so I had to very careful flip the other one over. I guess it turned out OK, I sure need more practice though.
Carson couldn't wait for her to open her presents. I think he was more excited than she was. She had fun opening presents. Her G.G & Papa Mac, Monty and Kim Hollie, (Adopted grandparents) Grandma & Grandpa Houghton, Jon, Delena, Noelle, Nate & Ashley Lund and there boys came. It was a fun night! Thank you all so much for coming and sharing this special day with Ellie.
Looking back on Ellie growing up.

I am taking her 2 year old very soon!!
Ellie has always been and still is such a sweet little girl. She came out that way and never stopped! She is known for her really low laugh, it is the cutest thing ever! Her little sweet smile can make you melt. She loves playing with kids, and loves her big brother - even though he pesters her. She really LOVES her Papa. I don't think she can get enough of him. She loves dogs and going on walks. We all love her so much and are so thankful to have her in our lives. She is such a sweet amazing little girl who is growing up too fast! I hope the rest of our kids will be as easy, sweet and happy as she is!! Happy Birthday Ellie! We love you!!

I am glad the flip flop cake turned out. I thought they both were very cute! Great idea...hee hee!

I am sure sad that we had to miss her 2nd birthday. Living away from family is hard when we miss out on the special moments! We love her so much and think she is the sweetest!

It is hard to think it was just last year when she was still such a little baby, just barely walking. Not sure if she liked the new addition to our family. Now you can't peel her off of Keira!

HaPpY BirTHday Ellie! We can't wait to see you soon!

Happy Birthday Ellie. The flip flop cake was super cute. She is getting so big and totally looking like a little girl instead of a baby girl. I want you to take our pictures this fall if I am brave enough to attempt it again with my two!
