Ellie's Party

all the kids playing on toys in our huge front yard. hehe.
Pinata fun! Everyone got to pull a string and try their luck at busting open Dora for the goodies. Ellie's cousin Jordan brought out the muscles and finally broke it open. Chaos followed. :)

Ellie pulling the first string with no luck. Notice all the other kids are in attack mode, ready to scramble for any piece of candy that falls out. Pinatas are HUGE with my family at kids' birthday parties.

I still can't believe she's already two. (sniff, sniff)

Ellie's cousins, Carter and Justin...enjoying their loot from the pinata

Some of Ellie's party guests enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather we were blessed with.

A few more guests. (Notice Uncle Chad trying to ride Ellie's new scooter)

Addio taking Ellie's bike for a spin in the driveway. What a cutie pie!

Olivia making a mad dash for the cat food. This girl has quite the obsession with eating cat food. Eventually we had to put it on top of the freezer because she was so relentless. That girl knows what she wants...

Ellie showing off her Dora ice cream cake. This was just before she shoved her fingers into it and told me it was cold. :)

Opening one of her many gifts. She loves them all!

The Stenzels. :) It looks like Olivia, whom Ellie calls Eya, is eyeing her mom's diet coke. haha!

Amanda, Addison, and Olivia checking out the balloons.

Ellie's buddy Maddy, who lives across the street. She refused to take her shades off. What a cool chick...

Ellie and her daddy.

Hello Ellie!

Ellie and her mountain of gifts. This girl is definately loved by many.

hmmmm....where should we start. Ellie had lots of helping hands thanks to her cousins.

waiting patiently for Daddy to finish reading the card...

Ellie got this puppy from her uncle chad and his family. she drags it all over the place. She loves all the fun toys everyone gave her. She makes us dinner in her kitchen every chance she gets. :)
