Ella's FIFTH Birthday!

Well... a few weeks ago our first tiny baby that we brought home from the hospital, who was our entire world wrapped up in a pink blanket,  turned FIVE YEARS OLD. I still can't believe she is 5! It's so crazy!!

 I couldn't help but to share some of her newborn pictures! She was such a sweet little baby who just wanted her mama & daddy for about the first 15 months of her life. True story. 

I also, remember the day that we took these photos and how MESSY our house was because I was so overwhelmed by the newborn life! But it's all such good memories and I am SO SO SO thankful for every single memory, the good and the overwhelming!

Her profile! All the heart eyes!

I LOVED Ella's nursery and I will always cherish this photo of her & I in it!

Literally looking at our entire world!

She is still a daddy's girl to this day!

 Then we literally blinked about 5 times and we opened our eyes and saw this precious little girl... (I actually got VERY emotional writing this and seeing the transformation side by side of tiny newborn to vivacious little girl!)

The Barbie obsessed BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Ella has been very into Barbie movies and Barbie dolls and just all things pink for a while now... So when she decided on a Barbie birthday party, I knew it would be perfect for her!

She wanted to have her party at her Paw-Paw & Gigi's playhouse so we called it her Barbie dreamhouse for the day! But it rained alot around her party so we ended up moving her party to their porch and it was even more perfect! 

The girls all dressed up, they colored, painted, and glittered up some cute Barbie coloring sheets! Then they moved on to a tea party with lots and lots of fancy snacks! Then we opend presents and ate cupcakes! Then the girls made fancy bracelets with fun beads! I think the girls all had fun just dressing up and being together! It was a super fun & girly day! Just what Ella Bella wanted! :) 

(These pictures are all out of order but there on here so I'm calling that a win! LOL)

Cora was blow drying and styling Paw-Paw's hair before the party started!

Painting their Barbies!

Blowing out her candles... This was the smile BEFORE a lovebug landed on her cake!

We had to sing Happy Birthday a second time because that darn lovebug ruined it the first time! She was a little emotional. LOL

Our favorite 5 year old!!

Probably their favorite 5 year old too! :)

Lukey was the happiest little brother on such a girly party day!
