After spending the morning at The Little Gym on Saturday, we headed to the Catawba Science Center for Drew's birthday party. We had so much fun! They did a presentation on the solar system and then all the kids got to make a miniature Jupiter to take home with them. It involved paint so Mimi assisted Ella in making her Jupiter! While the other kids went to watch a show at the Planetarium, we got to visit the Swamp Things exhibit that just opened this weekend. They had alligators, HUGE snakes, a bobcat, and all kinds of critters on display. But out of all the animals, Ella was most intrigued by the SKUNK?! She got so excited when she saw it and kept yelling "SKUNK! SKUNK!!" Good thing we can't have one of these for a pet! She also liked the bobcat, but Mimi and Ella got in trouble for tapping on the glass trying to get her attention :) Drew had a great party and got lots of fun gifts!

Happy Birthday Daddy & Paw-Paw!
On Saturday night, Mimi cooked a birthday dinner for Daddy and Paw-Paw, who share the same birthday! We had a great steak dinner to honor these special men! I baked a firetruck cake for Cory and it turned out really cute! It was actually good, too. We didn't stop partying on Saturday, but instead continued celebrating Cory & Paw-Paw's birthdays on Sunday with the rest of the family. Happy Birthday Daddy & Paw-Paw! We love you!!!!

The birthday boys being silly as usual!
Ella was tired of eating cake and decided to move on to the candles.
Not only was it a fun weekend for partying, but the weather was absolutely beautiful for some outdoor play! This warm weather made me so anxious for spring to get here! Here are some pictures of our attempts to get Ella off her sugar high :)
Run Ella Run!
