Last night we had Ella's birthday party! She had a blast as we had lots of crafts, pizza, cake, presents, friends, and family. She was so excited all day that she couldn't stop asking when her party was going to start. With all of the stormy weather we couldn't use the backyard like we had hoped so we opted for the garage instead. We set up lots of crafts including sand art, picture frames, making goody bags, sand jewelry, and stained glass/plastic painting. She was delighted with everything, especially the cake that her Aunt Caroline made. Isn't it beautiful!! Once the kids found out that it was rainbow sprinkled on the inside (of one half and chocolate on the other) we heard a nonstop chant of "I want rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!!". She also got so many fun presents. Last night after figuring out her new princess sleeping bag and pillow she declared that she no longer needed her "pink bed". She did sleep very well in her sleeping bag on top of her bed and is again tucked in it tonight. This morning I promised her we could open the "shimmer shop" art kit that her Nannie got for her. Ella and Landon had a blast coloring and using glitter glue. This was after she wore her tiarra, earrings and ring at breakfast. After all of that I hope her actual birthday tomorrow won't be disappointing. She will at least get to have doughnuts for breakfast and one present to open. Later we will have a party to go to and she can have a lot of fun even if the theme isn't princesses and birthday candles.
