Ella's Party

Ella's actual birthday is on Thursday, but I had her party on Monday. For some reason Ella got it into her head that she was having her party at my Mom's house. Well she wouldn't let it go and mentioned it every time I-or anyone else- talked to her about her party. So we had it at my mom's. We decorated cupcakes, colored Ella the Elegant Elephant pictures, blew bubbles, opened gifts and had lots of playing. I just invited her cousins and Grandma Ruby this year, but may branch out and invite friends next year? Ella blew out all her candles in one blow! She got some wonderful gifts from her cousins, my parents and Grandma Ruby-Thank you!!. Thank you to all who came and make this party so special for Ella. I am waiting for her actual birthday to give her the gifts from us, this is the first year we have really gotten her more than a small gift. Now that she is older and understands it I decided it was time for more gifts. Here are a few pictures from the day.
