We had some special visitors come see us last weekend, Grandpa and Grandma were down in Charlotte for the weekend. And Ella was in heaven with all the attention!
We celebrated Ella's 2nd birthday a little early and Ella loved opening the presents and playing with them all at once. She carried around her monogrammed lunch bag for school like a back pack and tried to drink from all the straws at 1 time.
She loved pulling out and putting back the tissue paper and carried around the paper bag until it ripped. It's really the simple things!
But she did some new fun toys that have been a big hit this week!
Ella loves her Grandma so much and immediately went right to her when she arrived. Grandma even got to babysit Ella when I had a lunch to attend and Daddy and Grandpa went golfing. Grandma brought some of Mike's old books down for her also and she has quite a large book collection now.
And while she instantly bonded with Grandma, she wasn't too sure about Grandpa right away. She liked teasing him but she didn't want to be too close to him, she is a little weary of men still. But as the weekend went on, she slowly started warming up to him!
We did so many things fun things while they were here like Ella's new favorite game, building and destroying a fort!
And playing with building blocks (and yes, Grandma and Grandpa also got Ella all set for football season. They stopped by Blacksburg on the way down and got Ella a VT football jersey! She will hold up her arms and say "touchdown, go hokies!!" I think it's going to be a fun football season!)
Ella is really into coloring lately and she wanted Grandma to sit next to her on her new kitchen bench and color with her and Grandma was so sweet to play along.
Grandma also came bearing a new dress homemade dress and matching bow for Ella. How adorable is this dress and I am pretty sure from the look on Ella's face, she loves the dress as well!
We of course had to take Grandma and Grandpa to the park to play, it wouldn't be a weekend without some park time.
Our little monkey swinging on the monkey bars!
We decided to take a little stroll after dinner on Sunday and Ella decided that walking would be much more fun than riding in her stroller. And she even warmed up to Grandpa enough to walk and hold his hand! That is a big step for her!
We walked over to the best buddies backyard to see the new swing set they just set up. It wasn't full up yet but the swings were so we had to test them out!
It was definitely a fun weekend and like I mentioned, Ella loved being spoiled by all the attention and "weeee rides" she got along the way!
Who needs the stroller when Grandma will carry you home after your feet get tired from walking???
