We followed the yellow brick road...



What a lovely visit we had in Philadelphia and New Jersey this weekend. On Saturday we were so lucky to celebrate Amelia's very special 2nd birthday at Smith's Park. The theme of the party was Wizard of Oz, one of Amelia's and Mel's favorite movies. Above, Amelia admires her Dorothy birthday cake dressed as Dorothy herself.

Aunty Lillian and Aunty Mel with little Ellie. Baby Ellie had lots of smiles for everyone, while Mommy stuffed her face with rainbow rice krispie treats. Yummy yummy.

Amelia digs into the delicious rainbow cupcake which was topped with a ruby slipper.

...Evie had about five of them. Well, that's an exaggeration - between the whole family we had about five of them.

Amelia loved touching Evie. She stroked her cheek and then told Mommy Mel "I am being gentle, Mommy!" That she was! Check out Amelia's blog for more pictures of the awesome party!

Then we returned home to Bebe and Popi's new house in Wall and celebrated Mommy's, Daddy's and Evie's birthday with delicious chocolate/vanilla cake!


The next day Ellie got some quality time with Popi. She was fascinated with Popi's voice.

Eyes wide open (and with a little mohawk).


Ellie takes a nice nap on Beanie, content as content can be.


Evie, on the other hand, was a bundle of energy. She liked showing off her ballet moves.
