OK, Ellison's birthday party has to be broken up into a few different blog entries, because there are simply too many pics I want to include. And I need to thank Alisha and Cameron for sharing some pics with me - I stole them from you to post.
We didn't have a birthday party for Ellison last year, and as my dear friend mentioned to me, you can tell we have the guilt of knowing we're gonna have another baby because we went all out for her party this year. :-) She deserved a fun birthday party anyway. The theme was a princess dress-up party, where all the little girl guests were to come dressed up in fairytale attire. Ellison was all about that, and excited about her party from day one. It felt like we were talking about Cotillion in the weeks and months leading up to it. She LOVED helping put together the party favors and such. Anyway, we were glad to have some family to help join in on the fun of decorating, to transform the dining room into a place fit for princesses, in honor of our Bugsy.
(If only we could permanently leave up the balloons to cover up the hideous chandelier at all times.)
We had little peanut butter with/without jelly sammies cut out in the shapes of tiaras, high heels, flowers, and castles.
Ellison got the royal treatment having Grandma get her all spiffed up for the big day. When they were finished, Ellison walked down the staircase to surprise us. :-)
Oh, our beautiful baby girl, no longer a baby...
Checking out the scene
Her adorable cake from Kakes by Kelly.
She was getting impatient waiting for the party to begin. She looked so pathetic sitting by the front door with a forlorn look, asking where all of her guests were.
When we put the Disney Princess CD in, our little princess starting dancing away while she waited.
