Parker's 3rd Birthday!

Parker turned 3 on March 9th. Where has the time gone? Parker you are such a joy to have in our family. We love you so much. You have such a spunky personality yet you are such a sweet brother and son. Parker loves to play baseball, "mommy and daddy", in the dirt, anything outside, loves singing and playing his guitar. He will perform for us it is too cute! Of course he loves playing with his cousins. He think the world will end if they are out of town for a day! He loves to wrestle with his Dad and older cousins. I stare at him and his cute freckles by his nose and think to myself how did I make such a cute kid! I love you to pieces Parker.

Parker loves bug and so we decided to have a fun BUG Birthday with his cousin Brooke there Birthday is a 2 weeks apart!

Ella's 1st Birthday!

Ella turned 1 on February 25th. It came so fast! She is such a doll. We enjoy her so much. She is saying "Mom" and "Dadda" all the time. She says the "P" sound for Parker and still says "All done" and barks for a dog. She will repeat alot and sings "clean up" but uses "een uh"! She loves to snuggle with her babies and loves blankets. She will ask for a "baba" when she is hungry or tired. She loves to smile and do everything her big brother does! We love you so much Ella!

We had a Red and White Birthday for Ella. I decided to do
Red and White once I bought her the adorable skirt she wore


The pom poms and signs kinda look like a smiley face- Oh well!


They yummy red and white treats!


Plates and napkins for the kids with ring pop napkin holder!


The large cupcake was so fun to make and turned out pretty cute!

wait!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas

Love, The Morris Family

Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love, love, love it for all that it is. The true meaning of course and the time spent with family and giving and the cold. I actually hate cold weather but it would not be Christmas without boots and a beanie. I love it!

Christmas Eve Party:

At the Church

Parker was so excited when Santa walked into the room!

Ella, not so much.

At Momo's

Look at these adorable shirts! Allison and I decided to be creative!

Santa:
Parker got to see Santa three times this year! At the Ward Christmas Party, at Momo's and we also ate Breakfast with him. He was in heaven.

Pure Torture

Christmas Day:
This Christmas was great and I was not huge and pregnant with Ella so it was quite enjoyable for me! Ella was only 10 months but she absolutely enjoyed it. Parker could hardly wait for the day. He has been asking for a big boy bike for months. I thought he would change his mind and want something else but he stuck with it. I kept thinking he is too young not even 3 to have a bike with training wheels right? Anyways it was what he wanted so Santa agreed and he got his bike.

Parker's Spot-When Parker woke up he said, "My bike!" It was great! He practiced all day. There was a lot of screaming and him telling me he wanted a small bike. I explained this is what he asked Santa for. He was mad but kept trying and he was finally able to ride it by himself (w/training wheels)! It was a great day.

Ella's Spot- Ella just loved all her toys especially her moving barking dog and babies. That girl loves to cuddle. She played with her other toys too but loves her baby!
