I felt like I needed to do this post separate from our beach trip because her family party was SUCH a big deal to Ellie. She has been talking about it for about a year. She told us all from day one that she wanted Grandaddy to make cookies and cream ice cream and she wanted chocolate cake with chocolate icing. She reminded us frequently of her wishes and was constantly asking how much longer till her party. It's so funny because she really hasn't said much about her friend party or her actual birthday but this family party has been top priority in her life. For a YEAR. I think we can definitely call the day a success. All of our family was there and she loved getting to have a day all about her!
She had a great time opening her presents! She got some calico critters, princess legos, clothes, bath toys, and play doh! She was thrilled with ALL of it.
I loved seeing the joy on her face all day.
She was very excited to get to wear the birthday hat!
The gorgeous cake that Gin-g brought. Ellie was over the moon with her chocolate cake with chocolate icing!
Ruthie gives the cake and ice cream 2 thumbs up!
Ellie finally got some time alone to play with her toys. She and Uncle Ben hung out for awhile while Emmie rode her bike and Ellie even entrusted her calico critters with Uncle Ben for the night.
I can't believe that our teeny-tiny Ellie will be FOUR in just a few days!
