Party Prep

Last day before the BIG DAY!

It was so nice to have so much help at the house today!  

We all did a ton of last minute projects and got most of the setup completed.

Sarah and her family had a lot to do to prepare McKinnon for his move out to California,

so we got to watch baby Ella!  She and Sienna were a blast together!!

Myself, Aunt Kathy, Naomi & Lety puffed tissue paper balls until our fingers bled! ;)

As you can see Sienna and Samuel were also hard at work preparing for the big party.

Ella arrived and she had this fun toy stuck in her mouth (it was a pacifier).

Sienna pulled it right out...stuck it back in...and pulled it out again.

So sorry Ella, but she didn't seem to care.

Grandma Connie with Ella.

The Birthday Girl weighing in for her 1 year stats.

We had to borrow a scale from the neighbor.  She knew we were having the party but she couldn't imagine what kind of party required a scale??!!

I told her Montanans always require a pre and post weigh-in to make sure everyone ate enough. ;)

Next up was Ella...she blew Sienna away by almost an entire pound!

We love you Ella, our chunky monkey!!

Proud of her results!

Cousin Ainsley has softball All-Star games all weekend so she won't be able to attend the celebrations.

She made two birthday posters and hung them on the Olivenhain Town Hall billboard.

Thank you Ainsley!!  Sienna was very impressed.

Still hard at work preparing for the party...hmmm.
