Celebration #2...

So we had Ella's 'other' party yesterday and had about 15 or so people over. She slept through the beginning of it but that is okay because a rested bean is a happy bean! She did so good. I was a little nervous because she usually doesn't react well to crowds..yeeeaaah..that ended! She loved everyone! At one point she sat in the middle of the floor and just spun around, looking at everyone! I made her a cake just for her. She was in heaven! I told her that is the last cake she gets until she is 3 or so...at least that's all the sugar she gets! The most amazing part to me was when we were opening the gifts. She actually stayed and opened them and waiting to see everything! She wanted to see the cards and all. So precious! Thank you to everyone for all the gifts, thoughts and happiness you gave us. Most importantly, thanks for celebrating Ella's life with us! My little hippie baby! Pure joy! Note the hands on the hips! The remains...
