Is it STILL Ella's Birthday?

Ella is 5

Ella's birthday celebration evolved into a 3 day ordeal this year. Her real birthday, November 18th, was on a Wednesday. It consisted of donuts for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and McDonald's for dinner (not the best choices if you wanna make to be 6 sweetheart.....but nonetheless, very cool and very yummy)









Thursday was her preschool party. (She thought she was pretty neat stuff!)









Finally Friday, her birthday dance party!

This is Ella opening her presents before dancing....









and this is Ella after dancing. It was a wild dance party, I tell you, WILD! heehee

(And on a side note for you non-attending concerned readers out there - I only had to edit the choice of DJ Dave's music once.... "ohhh, ohhh I wanna sex you up" ... is NOT what we want our preschoolers repeating, DEAR!)


Dancing all the energy out of those little boogers really made them hungry for "do it yourself" ice-cream sundaes.
Yes, it was messy, but again, very cool and VERY yummy.

Listen, you only turn 5 once in your life!

Leaves!

We have a TONS of leaves in our yard!!! It's crazy!!!
We've jumped in leaves, raked leaves, tossed leaves, made crafts w/leaves, built houses out of leaves!
And.... on the NOT so fun side, ate leaves (accidentally of course), trampled leaves all over the house, and had leaves glued with snot to our faces! Gross!

Halloween!

BEWARE - Flying bat ahead!

















































Let's go get some CANDY!




























All that walking and knocking was WAY worth it!

Pumpkin Patch

An excited bunch of cousins ready for the pumpkin patch!
