Father's Day and a Bridal Shower

I know I say this every week, but what a weekend! I hosted Aunt Erin's bridal shower and bachelorette party on Saturday, and my mom arrived Thursday night to enjoy the festivities, and of course, provide me with plenty of help:) It was a great success, and Aunt Erin had a wonderful time with all of her special ladies, including her British 'sister' Beth, who surprised her with a late-night arrival! Although Ella is certainly one of those special ladies, she spent her Saturday with Dad, hanging out at the beach with Uncle Jeff and Aunt Kristin, and then hitting a street festival with friends later in the day. Needless to say, she was pooped on Sunday! Actually, we all were, but the fun must go on, with it being Father's Day. In the morning, we enjoyed a nice brunch with the Short family, and then Jeritt spent the afternoon golfing with a few other dads while Ella napped. Ella is so lucky to have such a great daddy, and I'm pretty lucky, too:) We love you!

We may have a beach bum on our hands.

Another street festival, another enormous ice cream treat.

But of course, Ella is more interested in the cardboard that came with the cookie set.
