Birthday Party #2

Ellen was lucky enough to have most of her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins help her celebrate turning 2 at a Sesame Street-themed birthday bash. Ellen loved the attention, her Elmo balloon and yummy cake ... And, she received SO many lovely gifts! What a special day for such a special little lady!

Cookie Monster cupcakes: courtesy of mom's questionable baking/decorating skills.

EVB got a super-cool Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Piggy Bank from Grammy & Papa. (They also gave her a grab bag filled with all sorts of goodies!)

The Laughlins gave Ellen an adorable baker's set, complete with a hat, apron and oven mitt!

Ellen got a Mickey Mouse Look & Find book (and a fun Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Sing-with-Me CD Player) from the Luke clan.

Great Uncle Jim gave Ellen an awesome cleaning set, so now Ellen has her very own broom! (She LOVES to "help" mom & dad sweep.)

And Omma & Boppa gave Ellen a Fisher-Price My First Dollhouse. (Ellen has been envying the one at their house for ages!)

EVB was a little unsure about everyone staring at her and singing "Happy Birthday" ...

But she soon got over it ...

and enjoyed a piece of cake, which she said was "so nummy-licious."
