Ellie's Second Birthday !!

My little girl is officially 2 !! I can't believe it. I remember the day she was born so clearly. That day changed our lives forever and we are so happy that Ellie is in our lives. She makes us laugh and also makes us proud to be her parents every day. She is a wonderful happy little girl. (I promise she is really happy, she just doesn't like to smile for the camera :))

 This is one of the very first pictures of Ellie. She has been cute since the very beginning :)

Ellie and her awesome cake at her second birthday party.

  

The theme of Ellie's party was purses and fancy shoes.Thank you to Grammy for getting this amazing cake for the party. It tasted just as good as it looked !!

My beautiful girl. She has brought so much joy to our lives. We can't wait to watch her continue to grow, learn, and make us laugh. We love you Ellie !!

Fall Fun !!!

How is it the middle of October already ?! I guess time flies when you are having fun. We have been busy with soccer, apple picking, celebrating Papa's birthday, and getting ready for Ellie's birthday :)
As always, thank you for reading and we hope that you enjoy this post.

Isabelle started soccer last month. This picture is of her before her first practice. She has come along way and really enjoys playing.

Isabelle has started taking dance class again. And Ellie is looking forward to starting classes next year. Isabelle has been teaching all of us her new dance moves.

Last month Papa celebrated a big birthday. And to help him celebrate we threw him a surprise birthday party. And he sure was surprised !! We had a great day and we all laughed, cried, and ate like pigs. It was a great day.

Nana "roasting" Papa. Notice the tissue is his hand :)

Everyone waiting for Papa to arrive at this party.

Last month we also joined team Jack Attack and participated in the Walk to End Alzhimers. We had a great day and met some amazing people. Thank you to Jen and Tim for letting us join Team Jack Attack.

Since George and I both have jeeps we decided that the girls should have their own jeep too. It is scary and funny to watch them fly around the yard in their jeep. It is a sign of things to come in 12 years !!

Jay came over to play and I think he enjoyed playing with Play Doh as much as the girls did.

What would the fall be without apple picking? We went last weekend and unlike last year, we were all sweating. It was sunny and 80. We had a great time.

My girls :)

Grammy and the girls getting apples to make pie !

All of us on the awesome hay ride. The girls loved taking the ride to and from the orchard.

Yummy apple !
