Ella's first

Ella's first

Happy birthday sweet Ella girl!  This little one is an absolute heart melter.  Her mommy put on one heck of a darling party.  I loved the "twinkle, twinkle, you're a star!" theme.  Because, after all, it's the darn truth! We were hooked up with this awesome family when Ella's mommy was expecting her.  She was going through all the same worry and fears that I had just been through after having Welles.  It's so fun watching the after math of Ella's arrival and all those fears put to rest.  One year has passed and it's pretty apparent that they feel one year richer because of that baby girl.

Our play dates are way too far a few between, but I love getting Welles and Ella together.  We've joked about their future marriage and having "joint custody" over them as a couple, when they do!  Neither of us is willing to think of them living away from home;).  In all seriousness, I hope these two are pals for life.

I had to take a million pictures while I was on creative envy overload.  You guys, she made the pinata!  I wish you could see the charm of the party in person.  The star streamers hanging from their big, beautiful trees were so whimsical.  I love seeing other women's creativity.  It's something I lack but can absolutely appriciate.

Happy birthday, beautiful, sweet and wonderful little Ella.  We are so happy to your specialness in our lives.
