Here's our little sweetie, just daintily eating the frosting off her cupcake one tiny pinch at a time... (though the one-year-old in her did soon come when she realized just how yummy birthday cupcakes are!)

April came to visit and celebrate Ellie's birthday with us, along with Grammi and Grandpa via Skype.

We may not have had a real celebration, but Landon was just so excited with all of the anticipation for Ellie's birthday. Ellie new 'Birthday' was something sweet and gave us a happy little smile with each mention of the birthday girl and each birthday song she got.

Ellie wasn't too excited with opening presents, but Landon was happy to help. :)
