Yeay! Grandpa & Mimi!

This weekend my parents came down for a short visit. Ella Ann was really looking forward to them coming, as were Spencer and I, and when she woke up Saturday morning and I told her they were coming over she was thrilled! Unfortunately, my Dad came down with an awful cold so he wasn't able to spend as much time with Ella Ann on Saturday. Poor Dad couldn't even join us for lunch or dinner!

We went to Trader Joe's on Saturday morning because my parents like to stock up on their $2.50 bottles of wine and unique foods. Ella Ann loves going too because she always gets a balloon and sometimes some drive-by samples and I get free coffee! My Mom, Ella Ann, and I went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, once again, for lunch on Saturday. We housed our usual entrees and Ella Ann even stuffed herself silly with black beans, rice, and chips!! We hit the mall for some fast shopping during her nap, came back and played at our house (thankfully my Dad felt a little better and was able to join us), and went to a yummy Thai restaurant for dinner. Ella Ann had such a good time with her grandparents and Spencer and I loved the company.

Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for the visit! Hope you are feeling better now, Dad!

Ella Ann loves her Mimi, and vice versa!


Playing with some stickers with Grandpa.


Showing Mimi and Grandpa her new dance moves from The Music Class!

Showing off a new outfit for the spring that Mimi and Grandpa brought her. She wanted to wear it to dinner! She's also sporting some oven mitts, obviously, because her and Mimi were playing in her kitchen!


On Friday we attended a birthday party for Ella Ann's friend, Diego, who turned 2. We had so much fun at the party! Ella Ann got to eat lots of yummy treats, and since she won't eat pizza or cake, I got to eat her share of that! Diego loves Thomas, so there were Thomas decorations everywhere, which the kids really enjoyed. Ella Ann even got a Thomas tattoo on her hand, which she has yet to let me wash off! She loves it! She also got a goodie bag filled with fun toys and it has gone with us everywhere we have been this weekend!

Enjoying some good food at the party!
Sticking stickers on Thomas.
All the party-goers - Luke, Ella Ann, Alex, and Diego! Yup, Ella Ann was the only girl, besides the two babies there that were a little too young to play!

Showing off their Thomas tattoos!
