Ella Rene's First Birthday

I still can't believe Ella Rene is ONE!!! Oh what pure JOY she has brought to our lives! She shines so bright and is just the sweetest happiest littlest thing. Her name means "bright light" and "reborn." It is SO neat to see her light shine so bright already! We had a strawberry themed birthday party because my first birthday party was Strawberry Shortcake. :) It was a fun time to celebrate what a blessing she has been to our lives. My friend Abby got a wonderful cameral for her birthday and took most of these pictures... thank you so much Abby!!!

The birthday girl!!!

Yummy food! We had a brunch for Ella Rene since this time of the day is her favorite time.

Ella Rene was sitting like a big girl waiting on her guest to come.

Happy Girl

My favorite memory of the party. Ella Rene was so delicate touching the icing. It really just showed her sweet personality.
