We went to a Halloween party this afternoon with our friends. Ellie and Cate were both flowers, Will was a fireman, Ella was a ballerina princess and Kellan was a frog. Ellie wasn't crazy about keeping her flower headpiece on but she did like eating the pumpkin shaped cookies!
Ellie was in her glory this past weekend because she had so many people doting on her. My mom brought my grandparents to visit and we all had a great time together. We began our weekend together by celebrating by Grandma's 86th birthday. The cake Ellie and I made toegther turned out just fine.
she did want to drink the water at first
but then figured out it had to go in the bowl
her favorite part was eating the batter with John
she's all ready to have "cakecups" tomorrow night!
Happy Birthday Grandma, we can't wait to have you here!
We spent this afternoon apple picking. Ellie had gone as a baby last year, but she really enjoyed walking around the orchard and filling bags of apples today. We picked a few different varieties and tried some along the way. Ellie was excited about the pumpkins for sale and really thrilled to discover a "zoo" at the farm. Since she has been referring to any group of animals as a zoo, it's time that we had a chat about where animals really belong in this world.
