Ella is 5!

Like every mother everywhere, I go back and forth between thinking that it's impossible that she's been here for 5 years, and thinking that there's no way it's only been 5 years.  Sweet girl.  If there's one thing we can do around here, it's celebrate a birthday.  Here's how it all went down.

Over the weekend, cousins came to grandma's and we celebrated the August and September birthdays.


Oh, and there's this boy.  The one who had a birthday party at grandma's a few months ago, but still thinks that every birthday is HIS birthday.  I guess it's not a bad attitude to have.

We love to perpetuate the myth by just buying him presents.  Actually, this one was from Uncle Jeff.  See?  Not spoiled at all.

Then today {her actual birthday}, we opened presents {new TOMS, dance clothes,

 and some little Disney princess babies?  I don't get it but she went crazy over them last week at the store.}.

Then we headed to Starbucks for breakfast, per our birthday tradition.

Cake for breakfast.

We played at the park, took naps, and went out to eat at Logan's {ella's request; she loves the peanuts}. Then we had cake at home.

We had a great day celebrating our sweet girl.

She's great.

And, yes, this boy thought it was his birthday, too.
