Ella's First Haircut

In preparation for our trip to Vancouver, we took Ella for her first haircut.

Here are some (ok many) 'before' haircut shots




tea party with her kitties





























The hair salon had special seats for the kids, lots of toys and their own TV to watch cartoons on





Ella was mesmerized by Elmo on the TV





The stylist was FAST! She was a hair cutting machine!








After!








We took Ella and her new haircut to meet her favorite character, Buzz Lightyear




Some aliens were there, too.

Father's dessert surprise

This was to be the "Piece de Resistance" of Suds' Father's Day dinner. A dessert I had been planning on making for him forever.

But I think I was the one surprised when dessert turned out like this....total disaster!

Any takers on what is was SUPPOSED to be??

The Tea Cups!

















The twins Anastasia and Gustav








Anastasia who I think looks an awful lot like Ella at times






Ella loves Buzz Lightyear!













The water park was a huge hit again











Ella seeing how many stickers she can pry out of the nice Disneyland lady
















































You might ask why we always get our pictures with Goofy and Pluto. Well, nearby you can stand in a HUGE line for a photo with Mickey and Minney. Or you can wait 4 minutes for a photo with the dogs. No brainer.
