Happy Birthday Ella!

 This past weekend we made a quick visit to Minnesota.  We went to celebrate Ella's 5th birthday, and also support Lucy, who got baptized!  The weekend went too fast, but we had so much fun, and it was such a great visit! The first picture is of Ella opening her birthday presents, in jammies, first thing in the morning. 

Ella chose to visit a local bookstore on her birthday.  It's called Wild Rumpus and is such a cute store!  They have chickens, cats, chinchillas, an iguana, a tarantula, rats, birds and probably a couple of other things I'm missing.  All of the kids had fun picking out a book, looking at animals and reading with Grandpa. 

 You may notice it was May 2nd and we are all wearing coats!  It was crazy weather, but we still celebrated afterwards with ice cream at Sebastian Joe's. 

 The next day we had a fun trip to the trampoline park, which all of the kids LOVED!  During nap time Adele and I went and visited Jesse's new barber shop.  We were very impressed by all of his hard work and how great it looks! 

 That night we bar-b-qued, played games and had fun with Jesse, Kjerstin and Grandma Karen.  We all enjoyed celebrating our Ella and being together!!!

On Saturday we went to Lucy's baptism and spent time with family.  Sunday ended up being a gorgeous day and we all had a hard time leaving!  We are excited to be going back for a week in June!
