But we made sure to celebrate Ella's first birthday at home before we left with all the grandparents (Poppy & Moppy, Yia Yia & Papa, and Grandma & Grandpa) and Uncle Jeff & Aunt Kim on Saturday, April 18th. Yia Yia helped decorate the house and a beautiful princess castle cake for Ella. We decided to have a birthday brunch with a bunch of yummy homemade food. Ella received a Radio Flyer push cart from Yia Yia and Papa and a new car seat from Poppy, Moppy, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jeff, & Aunt Kim.

Poppy & MoppyWe then left for California on the 21st. The stewardesses on Southwest made Ella a birthday crown and had the plane sing happy birthday to her!
We went out to breakfast this morning, where Ella wore her birthday bib and had all the waitresses wishing her a happy birthday.
We then celebrated Maya, Zachary, & Ella's first birthdays tonight with a yummy chocolate pudding cake, balloons, and birthday crowns. They were too cute! Zachary would not tolerate his crown at all and Maya kept stealing Ella's crown. Ella didn't mind because she was way too into the cake!
In other exciting news, Ella said her first 'sentence' on Friday - "Hi Kitty."
Looking forward to a great visit with the California Crew!!
