New Year’s Day

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Ella woke up this morning looking for her “Happy New Year hat”. Once she found the pile of them, she handed them out to us –  the same colors that we wore last night! What a memory this kid has. Anyway, Grandma and Papa left this afternoon. It was such a wonderful thing to have them here for a week. Today when Ella woke up from her nap, first she said, “Where is Mommy?” and I told her that Mommy was at the movies and then she said, “Where are Grandma and Papa?” and I told her that they were on an airplane going back to New Jersey. She smiled. Here are two pictures with Grandma and Papa from this morning.

Good thing for Papa that we didn’t bring his blue hat home!

Happy New Year everyone. We hope everyone had a beautiful night. Our hearts and thoughts go out to our family and friends who have lost loved ones this past year. Here is a quote that Sunny holds dear to her heart. “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.”

Beautiful Ella at the Acme Chop House bringing in the new year. She loved the “party” tonight.

This picture shows how much Papa loves Ella. Just before we took this, Ella and Grandma came over to Papa with the hat and Ella said, “Papa wear it” and he did!

Ok – check out this outfit. Ella had on white socks, red glitter shoes, jeans, a tutu, a frilly turtle neck, her fur coat and her Happy New Year hat. She is carrying noise makers and making lots of noise.

We stopped by Stella and Juliet’s house to bring them hats and bells. We rang in the NYC New Year’s Eve together.
