So the big day arrived! Adam stayed home with Ella on Friday for a 'Daddy/daughter' day that he said he wants to make tradition! Then when I got home, we all went to Red Robin for dinner - it's a great place where they always make a big deal about birthdays (with singing and a sunday!) Ella was all decked out in her 'birthday clothes' and ready to go!
She gave them lots of cute looks when they were singing to her!
Here she is playing in her sunday!
After dinner we went through the mall, and actually let her ride the carousel - something she ALWAYS is interested in but we haven't ever stopped to let her do - she had a blast!!
Then afterward we let her play on the playground in the mall. She had so much fun playing/watching the other kids and climbing on everything (she is quite the climber!)So we've come to the end of our first year journey, and 'what a long (but FAST) strange (and exciting) trip it's been'!!
My quote to Ella as she is getting 'older' and growing up on me, is taken from the great Dr. Seuss..."Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. YOU’ll start happening too. OH! THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!"
Your shots and post are awesome! What a great way to celebrate the first birthday (actual day) with just the 3 of you. Hats off to dad for starting such a great tradition. :)
