Ella's 5th Birthday Party

When we were trying to decide how we were going to celebrate Ella's birthday this year, she decided she would like a party that included dancing and face paint! So, I thought fast, called our favorite babysitter and dance teacher, Miss Margaret, and we figured with some teamwork we could make it happen. 

Our excited little five year old was so excited on the morning of her party! 



Abby (my assistant party planner) and I went ahead to pick up balloons, decorate and set up for the party. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised by her special balloon (a birthday tradition) and all the pink!

Ella had two special song requests:
1. a ballet dance to Diamonds by Hawk Nelson
2. teaching all of her friends the pop dance to Pricetag


"Who needs stretching? I'll just stand right here in the middle of it all!"



My favorite moment of the party was when Ella's little buddy, Brady walked in with a bag of Doritos and chocolate milk. We all thought he was bringing a snack that he wanted to eat to the party, but then he walked it over and put it right on top of the present pile. The story goes: When they were picking out a gift for Ella, his parents talked to Brady and his sister about what they wanted to get. Ellie knew that Ella would like something Shopkins related, so they ordered her gift. Brady and Ella (and their dads) shared many snacks together while they colored pictures at Stewarts while waiting for big sisters to be done at dance. It was their thing and Brady knew how much Ella loved Doritos and chocolate milk! 💙

Grammy and G-Diddy came for the day to celebrate!




She had the best time, such a great time that she refused to let it end by boycotting bedtime! :) Happy Birthday my Belly B!
