New Dress, New Shoes, Let's Party

This fantastic yellow dress was made for Ella by her amazing aunts, Alice and Arlen. The red shoes are a hand-me-down from cousin, Baikal.

Why are we all dressed up, you ask, well, it's time for a visit to Auntie Sara's house.

Ella wasn't quite sure what to make of the basket of goodies that Auntie Sara made for her.

When she saw that cookies and a "future Penn Vet School Graduate" bib were part of the basket, she warmed up right away.

(We finished off the bag of cookies quickly because Franklin kept eating them out of her unsuspecting hand).

Which is more fun, walking Franklin, or . . .

walking Granddaddy?

She's gotten pretty good at walking outside in shoes!

It's fun to play outside with Franklin, but wait, what's that on the ground?

A purple polka-dot egg! Wow!

"It's mine!"

What a fun day!
