Presents!!! Ellie's favorite presents included her "special ring" from Mama and Daddy (a $20 ring with a pink stone in it :), her Ballerina wallet and Foamy Bath Soap (thanks Uncle Barret). She stores all of her treasures in her wallet - money, special jewelry, small trinkets. They are all very organized and have their own location in the wallet. She sleeps with it and takes it in the car. She has offered to pay for our dinner several times but she has yet to follow through. She also takes her wallet with her on bike rides. Everett says she gets this from me. I do like to hold onto money but my wallet is not as pretty or organized!
Both my girls have April birthdays. Mommy decided to have a joint party with our family to save a little time and energy :) Thanks to Rebecca for giving the girls these precious outfits. We love our pink Smitten dresses!

As soon as I snapped this picture of Mason at the girls party, I remembered I had taken almost the exact same pic of Ellie on her 1st bday. They look alike and different. Hard to tell here but Mason is actually much smaller than Ellie was at this point. M was 25% height, 50 % weight and E was over 90% in both categories at age 1. I always say their face shape is very similar. Mason is just a little, lighter version in strong will and size :)
Ellie loves being the leader
