Eleanor Turns Two

Our beautiful Eleanor Ann turned two years old on the 11th. Where did the last two years go? 

We kept the celebration simple this year. She woke up to streamers in her doorway, which she loved and ran through over and over again. She spotted her wrapped gifts as soon as she came downstairs and insisted that she open them right away. We got her a lot of clothes,m; she was less than enthused. She did get some fun toys though. I unfortunately didn't take any pictures while she was opening her gifts. 

For breakfast I attempted to make Mickey Mouse pancakes. I was just happy Eleanor recognized them as such. 



She spent most of the morning/ early afternoon playing with her new toys. After nap time we FaceTimed with family then headed to the mall. Kevin turned Ellie's car seat around while she was napping, so this was her first car ride facing forward. She loved it.



Our first stop was Build-a-Bear. Eleanor picked out a princess bear, of course. 


Scarlett couldn't be left out, so she got a bear too.


Then we hit the Disney store next door. Eleanor proceeded to pull all the Princess dolls she wanted and piled them by Kevin. Wishful thinking. She ended up with a couple of nightgowns and a Minnie and Mickey car playmat. 


Then it was dinner time at Pizza Pie Cafe because Ellie loves pizza. 




We finally headed home for cake and ice cream. Ellie loves cupcakes, so I decided to make her a giant one. She was beyond excited to eat it.




We had so much fun celebrating our precious girl. She has brought so much light into our lives with her fun personality and energy. I am so happy and proud to be her momma.
