Ella helps throw her first Surprise Party...

Ella had an unforgettable weekend, and it was highlighted with a surprise "Pre-Retirement" party for Papaw P. Papaw will be retiring later this year, and what better way to celebrate than with close friends and family at Rick's Boatyard. Papaw was thoroughly surprised. However, Ella could have done without the group's collective shouting of, "SURPRISE", when Papaw entered the room. Nonetheless, she was soon appeased when she scanned the room and found her Nana. It was a long night for Ella, but she helped entertain several hours after her bedtime.

On Sunday, Ella had a nice brunch at Bleecker Street's with Mimi, Papaw B., and Gladys. Mimi and Papaw can hardly believe how big Ella is getting.




"What's up Vu?"

"Howdy!"
