Today, we started the day going to a Country Fair at Children’s Day School. This was the first event at CDS that we have been to as a family. It was fun, a little hectic, lots of kids and parents…I don’t know if we’re ready for all of this! Ella watched a sheep get sheared, played on the slide, looked at the chickens, played a few games, had a cupcake and some cookies – she really had a good time. Here are some pictures…
Ella told us that she was driving to New Jersey

We came home and Ella had some gnocchi (Ella’s request) and then Ella took a little nap. At around 4:00, we all headed over to the Channel park to go to Brandon’s birthday. The party was a train themed party – the birthday boy loves Thomas the Tank Engine. It was a really sweet party and Ella had a blast. Ella had a lot of treats including sugar cookies that she decorated and icing from a green and a blue cupcake.
Ella arrived at the party in her red car

After the party, we went over to Stella and Juliet’s to drop off Juliet’s birthday present. I didn’t have my camera, but I think Ron got some really cute shots. Tomorrow is Juliet’s birthday. We can’t wait to celebrate Juliet!!!
Thank you again for my birthday songs. On my birthday I awoke to see and hear Ella singing happy birthday to me on her blog. Had a wonderful birthday song on the phone when I came home from dinner. And had a wonderful video chat with you before I went to bed. The only thing better would have been to spend the day with you all in person. Thank you for the gift of you. I love you.
