Growing Pains

Overall I would say we had a pretty succesful birthday celebration for Ella this year. We had all the family over including my parents, sister and her boyfriend - and I'm happy to report that the families seemed to get along without a hitch :) (at least by all appearances).

Naturally, we had a princess theme and invited all knights and fair maidens to attend - which turned out to be around 30 people! My mom and I made a Princess Cake with a Barbie in the middle and the cake as the skirt...it was my first attempt and it ended up looking more like a Barbie stuck in cake than anything else but it tasted better than it looked so it wasn't a complete loss.

Here's a couple of my favorite photos from the big event:
