Ella Turns 5

Ella 5th birthday, A Garden Party!!
Ella had her very first all girl party. It was a garden theme party. The girls first came over and were able to pick out a dress up outfit and hats or scarves. Then they got to make their very own pizzas, any way they liked!!! After pizza making and eating the girls got to paint frames. Then came the cake. I attempted to make her a flower cake since that is what she requested, it turned out ok just don't look that close!!!
After cake Ella opened up her presents, she got a lot of great things from family and friends. Her daddy even got her, her very own pet fish. She loves well a little to much we are worried for his survival in this household but we hope she can learn to be nice and that the fish doesn't like to go everywhere she goes.
Classic Ella, NO PICTURES!!!
Ella insisted on getting a pinata, when I say insisted I mean she threw a tantrum minutes before her party so Mima( my mom) went and got her the pinata. I know I know not good parenting, giving in to the tantrum is not good I KNOW!!!
So the girls took some whacks at the pinata and of course know one was able to break it open. So i tore into it and dumped the candy on the floor so the girls can jump, dive, sprawl for all the candy they can get their little paws on.
After the pinata it was time to go home. The girls had a few gifts to take home. I made gift boxes that had tons of candy in it. With homemade flower hair clips on the top. The place mats, plates and cups were also theirs to take home.
Ella had a lot of fun. I still can't believe she is 5 the time has gone by so fast!!!

So cute!! Your family is precious. I stumbled across your blog and just wanted to say we have 4 kids, too, in the exact order- Boy, girl, boy, boy...

We are trying to decide whether to have a 5th... I really want another girl but I know you don't get to CHOOSE, (obviously I know that by now, lol!!) I just always wanted a sister growing up! Are you guys done?!! We also got married when we were just 20 (engaged at 19,) so I enjoyed finding your blog because I thought, 'hey, we have a lot in common!' :)
