celebrating with friends

ella had a few friends over on the friday before her birthday for a little celebration.
i got blue (her favorite color) balloons for the table...balloons are just so fun for birthdays.
the girls played outback for quite awile: dancing, snacking, making up games.

then we came inside to make some jewelry.
they each made a necklace with a charm on it.
i got the kits at target, they were super cute and super easy to make.

 

then we headed back outside for dinner (tostadas - no meat on fridays during lent)

everyone wanted to sit by the birthday girl, even her brothers! it was pretty cute.

they watched a movie and then we had cotton candy cupcakes for dessert.
the party was from 4:00-8:00 which was perfect...ella was in bed before 9:00.
she really needs her beauty rest, and i am a happy mama when she gets it!

it was a fun little party.
and the boys were so good with the girls.
they hung out with them, made up some fun games for them, & were just fun to be around.
they really got the girls giggling...
it is so great when this happens and everyone is happy!
feliz cumpleanos, princessa!
