Last week my parents were in town for a few days on their way back from Trinidad. For the past few years we've just happened to have the family together during Ella's birthday. This year, we decided to keep the tradition alive, even though we were a couple weeks shy of her actual birthday. It was a great day, even if it did wear us all out. And nobody was happier then the birthday girl.
We took a trip to the Park of Roses. All of the roses were fully in bloom. It was beautiful!
Molly has had this phobia of all living animals for awhile now, so I was a little concerned at how she would handle the zoo. She surprised us all, she loved it! She is still terrified of dogs though. Go figure.
We even got Molly into the petting zoo. It was an unbirthday miracle. This was the only time she got anywhere near any of the animals, though.

My parents had gone six long months without good mexican food...
All tuckered out after a long, busy day.
They recently got new rides at the zoo. Ella and Molly both loved them. When Ella would go on the 'big girl rides' Molly would stand outside the gate reaching her little arms through and saying "More". 
Eeewww....

Your mom has not aged in 10 years!! Crazy! And your girls are gorgeous. How old will Ella be?
Is Ella's hair really that naturally curly? What a doll. Happy Birthday to her!
This looks like a really fun visit and UN-birthday. You have such beautiful kids.
I hope I look as good as your mom does when i am her age. She looks great. I cannot wait to see your family in a couple of weeks
