Our baby girl is 1!

Wow! It has been a year! We can't believe that little Ella Rose is 1. This past year we have had a wonderful time with our little Na Na Boo. She is such a fun, smiley baby. So many people have commented on how she has the biggest smile and that she is one of the most happiest they have seen. We love our little munchkin so much and are so blessed to have her in our life.
The day she was born...





3 months...

6 months...

9 months...

We had a little birthday party for Ella on Saturday which was a cupcake theme. Ella woke up bright and early.
We went out to the kitchen so she could eat her birthday breakfast...pancakes.
Ella got some special birthday phone calls from Aunt Galade, Isaac, Diego, Joshua, Grandma and Grandpa Imbler.

She then took a bath and did something that she had never done before! Ella feel asleep by herself in her crib for nap time. She didn't even cry. It was amazing!!

When she woke up from her nap she went out to the front room where we had finish decorating the house. She was amazed and just sat looking, wide-eyed and smiling at the balloons and decorations.

My mom made the large cupcakes for the party and her, Nathan and Kaylee decorated them. Thanks guys!!!
This is the one Nate decorated...(purple)

My Mom's...(pink)

Kaylee's...(yellow)


We played a classic...Pin the Tail on the Donkey...and the adults even got in on the fun. Cirdan and Brodie ended up tying for 1st place.

Nathan thought he was funny and pinned the tail on me. Always the jokester.
Ella then opened her presents.
We sang Happy Birthday to the birthday girl. She didn't really know what to think about the cake. Ella was really tired, she poked at the cake and tasted it for a minute or two.
The Gibson's came later in the day and it was really good to see them!
We had saved the pinata and the kids broke into it...
The night ended with a bath. Casey and Ella both love their baths!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA ROSE! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
