Ella was going to have a birthday (not till May) party at Chuck E Cheese's, but for the sake of our move coming up (another story) we decided we'd strike when we had the opportunity. Sunday, Lance wasn't working and had it in his mind that we were going somewhere... Gratefully, Scotty & Candace were able to come along -and their friends Jen & family came too so Ella had lots of friends to hang out with!
Here's Ella with Chuck himself!
Ella won some kind of sorry gummy-slap-critter, who was lost in less than 5 minutes after she won it (to my relief).
Mia had a GREAT time playing with her drink -which I learned later I had confused with Lance's drink and allowed her about 1/2 a cup of MELLO-YELLO! *New worst-mom of the year award.
Look at the smile on that caffinated-buzzing-baby!
Here's Aneesa playing a bubble game.
Jen's daughter Brinley.
Jen's other daughter Brooklyn.
Here's Ella on a ride!
Chazzy-Bear!
We tried a ride with Mia-babes -here's the start...
This is the look before she burst into absolute TEARS!
Overall satisfaction -Ell later told us she had a "BLAST". :)

Ok, so the girls were boogying to some Garth Brooks on the drive... but...
All good things come to an end. Look at that face on Ella!
