I mentioned last week that I'd be going to help celebrate Ella's second birthday. And celebrate we did. Sarah and I left Friday morning and drove as far as Selma, North Carolina, and then finished driving to David's on Saturday. When we got there, David's grandpa was there. He had been visiting his son over in eastern Virginia and came to David's before coming back to Florida, so it was nice that his visit coincided with Ella's birthday. She calls him Great Pa-pa. He really liked that.
On Saturday Sabrina and David invited friends over for an evening of Midsummer Sweets. She set a lovely table and had lots of goodies. I'll post a photo of that another day. Instead of having a separate birthday cake, she used the carrot cake that was left. Since the soiree wasn't expressly a birthday party, she asked Ella's caregivers to come over on Sunday evening for cake, and they brought their gift for Ella then. These photos were taken then. After the candle was lit, she and her daddy blew it out, and then she didn't want to let go of it.
A proud mama and papa and Ella. Happy birthday to my precious little granddaughter. She has enjoyed a healthy year, and we pray that she continues to be well in this year to come.

Happy Birthday dear Ella! I am glad she has had a healthy second year of life. That is more important than anything.
She looks so sweet eating her carrot cake. And mom and dad so proud.
Hugs and blessings to you all.
"Look at this big piece of cake! Let's see...if I take off the candle, then...where do I start?!"
Beverly, if I were a portrait artist, I would fly back there and beg for the opportunity to paint that little girl's portrait. Her beautiful little face just begs for it! Happy birthday, Ella!
