So, I am VERY late in getting this posted on our blog. We have had a busy few weeks. Ella Catherine turned two on 3/5/09. We decided just to have a family birthday celebration. Her birthday was on a Thursday this year. I made and decorated some sugar cookies for her to take to school. She had a little celebration with her classmates and teacher. That night my parents, Nana and Pop, came to town and we celebrated by a dinner out after opening some presents. Aunt Katie and Mimi came to town Friday and then Grandpa, Grams, uncle Michael and Uncle Christopher came in on Saturday for the actual birthday party. We celebrated with hamburgers and hotdogs and an Elmo cake (made by yours truly). Ella Catherine had a ball and so did we! She was so excited to have all her favorite people at our house at once. She was wound up tight that day and I didn't think we would ever get her to bed. She woke up the next day asking for everyone to see who was still in town. She was very sad to see everyone leave, but has enjoyed all her birthday gifts tremendously. I have pre-birthday party pictures posted below but will add some from the party very soon.
She went last week to the doctor for her 2 year old check-up and her last round of shots until kindergarden. She is a very tall girl for her age. Dr. Haraf was very pleased with how well behaved she was and gave her a treat at the end of the visit. Matt's mom came in town for the day and so Mimi spoiled her a little after the MD visit by letting her watch her Elmo video multiple times.
