Happy birthday Ella!

Today is my niece Ella’s first birthday! I really can’t believe how fast this year has come and gone. From her first smiles, to laughing, sitting up, crawling, babbling and now walking, it’s been so much fun to watch Ella grow up over the last year.

It doesn’t hurt that Ella’s one of the cutest little babies, either. She loves to be the center of attention and is always smiling that huge smile of hers and babbling. She’s also one of the few kids who Allen is comfortable around, which is saying A LOT. Allen has said more than once that if we had some kind of guarantee that our kid would be like Ella or Elisa (my adorable cousin) he would have no hesitations about having a kid!

I really love being Aunt Sara and I am looking forward to doing special things with Ella now that she’s getting older. So happy birthday Princess Ella – I love you!
