Our second anniversary of Family Day was on the 9th.  But Alex was in Mississippi for work, so we had to delay our celebration until Friday night when we were all together.  Alex and Ella made a cake, complete with sprinkles, as they are the only reason for making a cake in the first place (according to E).  Then we had to sing — and have candles.  E is obsessed with “blowing out the fire.”  Here are a few pictures I happend to take on my iphone…

Blowing out the candles.

Her toe happened to land in the cake, and only a parent would think to lick the frosting off

Family cheese (I was on the couch with the camera, so excuse my absence!). 

I let Ella wear the necklace I bought for her for her very first Family Day, and she kept saying “you gave this to me?  for my family day?”  It’s nice to have a day to remember how we chose to be a family, and celebrate together.   Happy Family Day!!!
