Thirteen Months Old!

We had originally planned on keeping the sticker photo shoots going until she was a year, but we decided to (try and) keep them going for the 2nd year, since she changes so quickly!

Still a total goofball...

In her birthday party outfit...that arrived a week after her party.  D'oh!

Playing at Jake and Ben's birthday party...

Visiting with Santa before the lines got too crazy!!

Harry Potter Anniversary Weekend!

For our first anniversary, we "patiently" awaited the arrival of Ella Catherine.  So, for our second anniversary, we decided that we needed some time away for Mommy and Daddy.  Luckily, we are married dorks who love Harry Potter, so our idea of perfect was a weekend in FL...

Lew, being the awesome husband that he is, had champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries waiting for us at the hotel when we arrived...

We arrived just before dinner on Saturday night, so we were off across the street to Downtown Disney for our first real date since Ella arrived...

But, a night of martinis and fun would not stop us from getting up at the crack of dawn for Harry Potter world...

But we also wanted to make the most of our short visit, so we squeezed in a trip to Epcot and the Nemo exhibit...

(when the baby's at home, the parents will play)

Someone was very happy to see us...and we were equally happy to see her!

Halloween 2012!

For her second Halloween, Ella went as an Ewok - the last year that Daddy will get to pick her costume!  Baby EWOK!

First, we went to a party at our tumbling class...

Then we went to the Halloween parade in Woburn.

And lastly, I went trick or treating for the first time.  I was a little skeptical at first, but then I realized that my cuteness garnered me candy...SCORE!!
