Labor Day Weekend in Murphy, NC

Eating out for Granny's birthday!

Aunt Rebekah's birthday!

The yummy cake(s) for Ella! Debi made the big cupcake and Oma (Gale) made all the pretty little ones. They were all great!!

Happy first Birthday, Ella!!

We had a great party for Ella in our backyard. She was so excited, and lots of family came to celebrate!

Ella must have known that it was her birthday, because she played so hard all morning at church and then when we got home that she fell asleep during lunch.

Ella went through a stage where this was her favorite face to make. She makes a perfect little "o" with her mouth and widens her eyes like she is surprised. We love it! She thinks its the best when you make the same face back at her!
Ella is very busy these days, shes very fast at moving around the house and is into everything! She loves playing with Mugsy, and finding any kind of paper that she can to shred and then try to eat! She's crawling and climbing and doesn't seem to interested in trying to walk, which is ok by us! She's a very big girl and we can't believe in just a few months she'll be a year old!
