I can't believe it, our little Ella is 2 years old! She is such a sweetheart. We love her so much!
Ella LOVES being a little mom to her babies. This is a gift from my mom and dad. Ella is very protective of her new doll pram, the older girls can not even get close to it without her yelling "NO, MINE!" Yesterday, Addison and Olivia set up a trap with a jump rope to pull it away without Ella knowing, she was frantic and very upset. They thought that it was hilarious. Poor Ella, what a little cutie. 
Our family gift to Ella was a Kelty backpack for hiking. We love to go to the mountains on Saturdays and we have really needed this to carry Ella. We went to Boulder this afternoon to try it out. She loved riding on her dad's back and we loved having her safe and secure.
We invited the Westhoff fam to party with us in Boulder. The trail we wanted to hike was closed, so the kids had fun climbing rocks, eating cupcakes and playing in the canyon.
