Vanessa's First Birthday!

On Sunday Ella helped her cousin Vanessa celebrate her first birthday at her home in Livermore. Even though it was hot, the food was delicious and the company was fun. Ella hung out on a blanket in the shade. Here is Ella with Mom and Aunt Toni is in the background.

Ella and Vanessa had a great time catching up and gossiping about their mothers :)

Here Vanessa is whispering her secret to keeping Daddy and Grandpa wrapped around her little finger while Ella checks out her cute dress.

Jennifer encourages Vanessa to just dive in, but Vanessa isn't sure about this . . .

Jennifer and Brian were not spared from the mess . . . but who could resist that face!
