Thanks for helping us celebrate!

Our neighborhood friends joined us to celebrate Ellie's birthday. While it rained (and rained) outside, food, fun and general mayhem reigned inside.
From front to back: Mallory (9 mon.), Luca (18 mon.), Ellie (2), Shawn (7 mon.), Savannah (5), Leah (4.5), Will M. (18 mon.), Katherine (3.5), Nate (2.5), Harris (4.5), Steven (3), Hayden (21 mon.), Will K. (5), Jack (5.5) and Will S. (3.5), whose little brother Finn (1) managed to dodge the paparazzi.
Ellie looks a little overwhelmed by the festivities. In case you were curious, Aunt Liz defaulted to an old favorite -- Funfetti -- with Magnolia Bakery's vanilla buttercream frosting. Artfully decorated with butterflies, of course.
Wishing Ellie Bean another year of health, happiness... and hopefully not-so-terrible 2s!
