Since this family loves Krispy Kreme doughnuts so much, we decided to steal Anthony and Beth's tradition and start getting doughnuts for the birthday girl or birthday boy for breakfast so for Ella Rose's 2nd birthday, we started out with a bang! Ian and I need to make a confession...all those doughnuts that O.T. and Matt brought back from The States for us while we lived in Germany...well Ella Rose never ever got one of those...my excuse...just too much sugar for a toddler...Ian's excuse...it provided more doughnuts for him to enjoy! Hee hee!
Look at that face! I think she likes them!
Sharing her doughnut with Papa!
I can't believe it has been 2 years ago on March 12 that our sweet Ella Rose came into this world! She has been such a precious one in our lives...filled with laughter, love and the most energy I have ever witnessed. She is one of the friendliest children I have ever seen and wherever she goes and whatever she does, she does it full throttle! Over the last year she has learned so much...she started running, she really started talking and she became a big Sister and a really good one at that! Oh our precious Ella Rose, we love you so much and we are so blessed that God gave you to us!
Our little daredevil and Ian's workout
Mimi and Papa gave Ella Rose this cool tunnel
Carolina Grace loves it too!
Mimi is such a great sport...crawling around in the tunnel too
Of course we had to get in there too!
Ian gave me these beautiful roses and Ella Rose enjoyed smelling them
Ready for the big celebration...YEA for ELMO
It was always a tradition in our family growing up that Mama would fix us our favorite meal on our birthdays so we grilled hot dogs and had french fries too because Ella Rose LOVES hot dogs.
Happy Birthday Ella Rose!
The birthday girl
We decided to have a very small celebration of just our little family and Mimi and Papa...days leading up to the party, poor Ella Rose kept saying "MIA" thinking her little friend from Germany was going to show up for her birthday party! Bless her heart...she still doesn't realize how far Mia lives from us now.

Happy 2nd Birthday Miss Ella Rose! What a special girl you are and are becoming. It is hard to believe it was already 2 years ago that you were born, so much growth and change! Looks like you had fun with your family and I'm SOOO glad they finally let you have some sweet Krispie Kremes. You'll remember that taste next time you see a box, I bet.

Happy Birthday Miss Ella Rose. You are geetting so big. What a cute Elmos Cupcake Cake. I'm glad to see your parents are finally letting you experience some sugar-just wait till you get the candy!!! Life will never be the same. You have a lil' girl-Gabby who would love to meet you and teach you everything she knows about and have you teach her things too-she catches on quick when you teach her something new. I bet you do too. Happy Birthday Big Girl (it's about the only time in life you can call a girl BIG without insulting her).
Happy Birthday, sweet girl! She is growing up so fast. And Carolina Grace is just beautiful. Donuts for breakfast, who couldn't love that! I am so glad you guys are back in the states and heading to MS soon. I just hate that we are leaving and heading north. Just as you come back, we go further! Hugs and Kisses to those precious angels. We love you bunches!!!
Worst. Aunt. EVER!
