Ella officially turned 2 years old on Friday, January 20th at 9:13 AM ;-) I still am trying to adjust to that. I guess having two kids means the years go by twice as fast! She had a fun & low key day celebrating. We spent the morning playing & watching 'Polar Express'. The movie is Jackson's FAV & he somehow convinced Ella to watch it on her day, lol. We opened gifts then had cake & ice cream after naptime. The kids got some surprise visitors... Gramp, Nana, Aunt Kelsey, Uncle Ty & Aunt Martha!! We had fun playing & watching the snow fall.
