Daddy and Ellie
By this point in the party, she is half naked and wired on sugar
Ellie brushes the pony...but check out her expression! She admires her work!
My favorite picture of the day...she sure loves her daddy!

Ellie and Mommy
Today, Ellie attended her first major birthday party amongst her friends. Gabriella, Liam, Mary and Ava all turned 2 years old within a few weeks of each other so the parents decided to throw a huge party for all of them at once. What a blast! The moms chose a middle ages/medieval theme and Ruth's mom's house was perfect (HUGE gorgeous property on the river in Auburn). There was a bouncy house and pony rides, a castle cake and inflatable swords and shields, medieval hats for all the kiddies, and some seriously delicious food. Almost all of Ellie's closest friends (and their parents/our friends too) were there. It started at 4:00 (perfect weather!) and we didn't leave until almost 8:00. By the end of the evening, Ellie was so exhausted! She rode the pony at least three times and spent the majority of the remaining time bouncing in the bouncy house or running in the grass with friends. Overall, I think it is safe to say that this was a dream-come-true kind of day for Ellie!
great pictures! looks like such a fun party. it was fun to see you guys. we ended up not getting a rug - they didn't have the size we were hoping for...bummer. we still picked up a few items i had been wanting, so that's good. see you soon!
ReplyDeleteEllie, let your mom and dad know that this is what you want for your birthday, just don't tell them I encouraged it.
