happy birthday, ella

ella's 8th birthday was on sunday.
she was so excited for it, she had been talking about it for weeks.
we had a family brunch to celebrate her special day. (those are cream puffs for her cake)
i didn't get any pictures before everyone got there, but took some during the brunch.

we had so much going on that weekend, brunch was the only time we could celebrate.
it was such a nice change from doing dinner - so nice to have the rest of the day to relax.
and on top of that, brunch foods are so much fun to have and set up.

 
ella was such a big help with getting things ready, helping me make everything look pretty.
i really am so lucky to have such a wonderful, helpful and creative daughter.
she couldn't have been more thrilled, surprised, and excited about the 3ds we gave her.
she has been wanting one for quite some time.
it was so nice having the entire family there to celebrate her birthday.
my mom and brothers stayed for awhile after everyone left.
we were able to just sit and relax and hang out in the front yard while they played basketball with the kids.
thanks so much to all the family for all her wonderful gifts and most of all for your presence on her birthday, the most special day for a child.
and a very happy birthday to my darling 8 year old daughter...
