Birthday Party Weekend
This weekend we celebrated Ella's 5th birthday! It was her first real "friends" party, so we spent all last week waking up to "How many more days until my party"? haha. She was soooo excited. We rented one of those jumpy houses for the kids and she chose a Tinkerbell theme.... I didn't plan many activities, 'cause I figured they wouldn't want to get out of the jump house...but they finally did though, and we decorated princess crown cookies and had cake & ice cream. Fun stuff. Happy Birthday Ella!
We had gotten Ella her first bike as her birthday gift, but gave it to her on her "real birthday" on the 19th. It has training wheels on it, but she wants so badly to learn to ride without them, so we have been practicing and practicing. She's almost there and we are So Proud!
All new Prima for this page. Paintables paper, Fun Felt flowers and bling! :) The "frame" idea was inspired by the very talented Jamie Waters. Thanks for stopping by.

happy birthday Ella,we just bought my eldest a new bike and i am doing a lo about it too, lol
looks like lots of fun was had xx
