Ella's Third Birthday!

This is a belated post about Ella's third birthday. We had her party here at the house the day before her actual birthday and had a wonderful time with our immediate families and playgroup friends. The weather was great, so we spent the whole time outside playing, eating, and having fun. Everyone was so generous and Ella received lots of thoughtful gifts. Here are a few pictures from her party:

Ella chose brownies instead of cake, so we made 2 brownie 'cakes'---

one with icing and the other with sprinkles and "George"
