Ella Turns 4: Paris Party!

This year, Ella's little party with friends was themed, "A Day in Paris". It was pretty and simple, but it came together so well. I think I'd even say it was my favorite party to plan so far. The kids loved the treats and crafts. The photo booth was a big hit. One thing is for sure, there wasn't a theme that could have fit Ella better this year. She loves all things Paris and Grace and baking. She enjoys macarons and croissants any chance she gets. If she sees an Eiffel tower (also known as the "Paris Castle" in our house) she squeals with excitement. 

Grandma came up for the day to help us with the party and celebrate with us.  We love having her here!

 This little four year old was excited to celebrate!

Grandma was first in line for the photo booth! :)

Lots of little girl friends came to celebrate Ella in 'Paris'

We decorated french poodles and eiffel towers with ribbons, sequins, sparkles and pom poms!

Give these girls glue and loads of glitter and they could play all day!

Making her poodle fancy!

 Did somebody say poodle? This guy was close by representing poodles everywhere as the official real life Paris party mascot. :)

Here's some more photo booth fun:

 

The spread included: juice, popcorn, watermelon, fruit salad, crossaints, ham and cheese, macarons and fancy marshmallows on a stick.

Juliet took it all in and watched the big girls from her swing where she hung out for most of the party with Daddy and Grandma.

This handsome guy is the best barista around serving up the coffee at our Parisian Patisserie.

Happy Birthday sweet Ella! We love you so so much.

Here's hoping she will always want to kiss her mommy before she blows our her candles! :)

When Grandma plays, she really plays. After the party and before Grandma headed home, she got into full costume for Ella's birthday spa. Manicures and pedicures all around.
