Our Little Princess's Big Day!

        Jeff was so proud of Ellie





                                 I love my girls!

Addison helped make the chocolate cake for Becky.

  So I'm finally giving an update!  I'm terrible at this blogging stuff.  I'm always putting it off because I never have time.  So I'm just throwing this out.  I guess its better to blog poorly than not at all.   I do need to take some time, and make some serious changes to my page.   

  We had such a wonderful day at Ellie's baptism.  It was definitely one of our larger party's!  We had about 80 people come to support Ellie.  Thank you, every one who came.   We had tons of food, and a huge banana split bar with cake for dessert.  It was also Ellie's aunt Becky's Birthday that day, so we made her a chocolate cake, and sang to the both of them as well.  I decorated everything in black, and white polka dots.  It turned out so cute!  I Made a 3 layered cake, and decorated it with black licorice pin wheels.  It was not only cute, but it tasted delicious as well.  (Note the picture of Ellie sticking her face in the cake.  She thought it should not just be your first birthday, that you get to devour your cake.)  It was stinkin'  funny.  I ordered black, and white M&Ms, and any other candy I could get my hands on to fill glass jars for my serving table.  I gave Ellie a black, and white polka dot journal, and I had everyone write a little note to her.  I had white flowers, and you guessed polka dot ribbon everywhere, I also had a black and white 16 by 20 picture blown up and framed on a easel of her.  It was darling.   Needless to say I went a little overboard.  Probably not the first time I have been accused of this.   Well we partied until we dropped, playing basketball, having hula-hoop contests, building sand tunnels, jumping on the tramp and flat out napping.  Lots of fun!
