How exciting!!! Ellie is going to have a BABY BROTHER!

 Saturday was party day #1. My in laws let us have a few friends over to celebrate. Chad grilled out & us girls got all the sides ready inside. I also made the cupcakes this year & did homemade icing. All the decor was done by my good friend Allyson Denham.  She does party packages, so if you ever need anything, I will pass her info on to you!

 We went with the owl theme

 Ellie wore a cute pillow case dress

 She is a cupcake lover... well, mostly the icing!

 Her Mo Mo & Grandaddy got her this battery powered 4 wheeler!! How fun!

 My birthday dinner was at my parents house Saturday night! They sure did make a delicious meal & we had death by chocolate for dessert~

We truely appreciate all our friends & family for helping celebrate our birthday week! It was  a great week from beginning to end! We are very blessed to have such an amazing 2 year old & baby boy on the way. Everything looked good on the ultra sound & I am now 20 weeks!
On Thursday, 3/8/12, i thought back two years. I was SO excited for Ellie Marie to arrive that Monday. Finally, that night at 10:25 she was born!! I just held her in my arms & could not believe the love I felt.  When she climbed up in bed with me on her second birthday morning, I could not stop the tears from coming. She has grown up so much already. We had such a sweet little moment together... then she said, "mommy, breakfast bar!?" LOL, I guess that comes with having a 2 year old!!!!   I know she will be such a wonderful big sister,  she is so loving, sweet & gentle!! We are so blessed she is in our life everyday ~ Ellie, mommy & daddy LOVE you so much.
