My baby is two today...
I'm not sad...just in disbelief that it has really been two years since:
Two years ago I discovered love as I never knew it existed.
Ella Louise Cronin!
We had her party this morning. It had a ladybug theme & the whole place was red & black. Even the tables got decorated as ladybugs.
Two Years ago there was no cake...this year, I baked & decorated a cake:
And since we had another cake left over after we altered the design, we decorated a 2nd cake:
Each cake part/layer had a different flavor. The "Ella Louise is 2" was French Vanilla Cake, the head and top of the ladybug were Chocolate cake and the bottom of the ladybug was Fudge/Vanilla swirl.
It was a lot of fun filled with family & friends.
We are blessed:
Ella, today as you turn two here are some things you need to know:
You love to play.
You LOVE to sing and dance.
You like ladybugs, but this was your bday theme because your mom found that costume cheap and decided it would be great for your party.
You almost know who Cinderella is. (This is very important.)
You like to kiss your friends goodbye - this causes a great stir.
You like to sing the ABCs and make me sing it faster & faster.
You love "Where O Where is the Red Stop Sign" and insist I sing it over and over as we ride in the car. You've gotten good at pointing out stop signs, too.
You love to run and laugh when you fall down (most of the time).
You are learning your right from your left.
You love all our pets and never hold Monkey's crabbiness against him.
Your playmates are Jackson West, John Kottmeier, Becca Hatcher, Juan Esteban, Nate Brown, Hannah Shelton, and Taylor Boothe.
Of those playmates, we call Jackson your "boyfriend"
You adore Katie Quinn, Charlotte Rich, & Caity Brightwell and never mind that I leave you with them. You just say, "Bye Mommy" and never cry.
You also adore your "Aunt" B.Jo - who loves you just as much.
Your Pop dotes on you like there is no tomorrow.
Your Mac thinks the sun rises and sets on you.
Your Papa becomes a teddy bear of a man like we've never seen.
Your Nana loves to find the cutest things for you
(like the ladybug socks you've worn this week.)
Your Daddy thinks all day about coming home and playing with you.
Your Mommy can't imagine a better life than being your mommy.
Your aunts & uncles adore you.
Uncle Warren & Aunt Ray-Ray can't wait to live close enough to be at your parties every year and to visit you often.
You are blessed to have three great-grandmothers living: your G.G. (mommy's grandmother), your Nanny (daddy's grandmother), and Grandma Cox (daddy's other grandmother).
You also have a couple of Aunts who would treat you like their own grandchild instead of as a Niece - Aunt Margaret & Aunt Carla.
And you have a great-great-aunt who never misses anything you do - your E.E.
You are one incredibly LOVED child.
Happy Birthday, Ellabean!!!
Mommy loves you.
