It was a very unusual weekend. It began with a record high temperature on Friday of 72°. This morning we woke up to nearly a foot of snow and very windy conditions. We've definitely been spoiled, and I'm definitely not ready for this kind of winter!
The big event this weekend was celebrating Ella's second birthday. Her birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year, and most of us will be traveling. We went over after church to give her our gifts. Several years ago, we bought Skylar her own chair from Pottery Barn Kids. This year it was Ella's turn and she was delighted to get her own personalized chair.
We also gave her a box filled with notepads and pencils. Her favorite character is Mickey Mouse, and that was the theme for her party in the afternoon. I found some cute stickers to decorate the box where she can store her pads and pencils.
Later in the afternoon there was a party at "The Little Gym." It was the perfect place for toddlers and some of their older siblings to run around and play. The staff there was fabulous and there was just the right mix of activities and free play.
Of course, there was cake. Wegmans, our local grocery store extraordinaire, creates the most amazing and delicious cakes.
I made Ella a shaker card for her birthday, which she promptly pulled apart to get at all the sequins. Later on, we pieced it back together again.
Waving to Sian and other Memorandum Monday folks! Here's to a great week.
