Even though we've not quite made it to August 12th, we had Ella's fifth birthday celebration over the weekend. We'll be traveling the week of her birthday so we decided to have a party early this year. We kept it small and quiet this time around but it was oh so much fun for mommies and daughters both! We had a "Royal Tea Party" and invited three of Ella's little friends (including her cousin Lauren.) Each girl arrived in her finest princess gown and we presented them with their own strands of sparkly beads, a big princess ring and a fairy wand. We had our beautiful friend Amie who arrived in her own princess dress act as our guest princess and she helped the mommies to paint little princess nails, curl hair and add sparkle to their sweet faces. Everyone looked so pretty! Then we set out a spread of tasty princess treats and they had their tea party, complete with princess tea (pink lemonade.) Such a sweet time! The moms got to enjoy some time together over munchies and cake. A big highlight was when our grown up princess read them princess stories before we had cake and ice cream. They were enraptured! Better than Disney World (or a close second!)Ella started out the morning by opening her special gift, just for the occasion. It was a white princess dress with silver sequins and a white velvety bodice complete with crown, earrings, necklace, wand and shoes. She carried herself with such grace...I could tell she was feeling so special! It was just the right amount of spoiling! I think her best birthday yet.
