Hilbig Happenings: grandma's 80th, baby ella, and hamilton

this past weekend we traveled to hamilton for grandma's 80th birthday party at aunt linda's shop in evant. i was so happy to see everyone that came. all of our family was there, plus the henkes side!.... it was great. hot, but great.

back in april, we were all asked to submit our "memories of grandma" for a book that was going to be made and given to grandma at the party. each person did to and had to read it out loud on saturday... talk about emotional! it is such a neat book, full of pictures and wonderful family memories. i can't wait to sit down and read it and look at all of the pictures from years past.

miss ella came to hamilton friday night via lacey. she is so precious and growing stronger every day. she looks NOTHING like she did a month ago. her body has gotten so long and her little face has started making the cutest expressions. she has also learned technique of 'the grunt'. seriously, she sounds like a teradactyl... and i love it! she stretches and moans just like her aunt kk. oh that child is so precious.

so.... i will apologize in advance. the next sequence of pictures are ALL involving the newest love of my life, my niece!
