Ella turns 4!

On June 8th my little girl turned 4 years old. In some ways I think 4 seems so old, but then I think how I am going to have 3 kids 4 and under and I think I am crazy because it is still like I have 3 babies to take care of!
But Ella was fun this year because she was really excited about her birthday. She kept telling people that her birthday was on June Eight. She is to the point where she knows how birthdays work and she was ready for those presents!
So that morning we had a little party for her at the splash pad. It was definitely the easy way to go, I didn't have to plan a thing I just let the splash pad do all the entertaining! So with pink cupcakes, pink punch, and pink princess balloons we were good to go.

She loved her #4 candle.


I gave up trying to keep Kash out of the cupcakes-I think every one of them had a fingerprint in the frosting.

Showing off her cute tutu from Aunt Gina.

This is Ella posing with cute Ella from across the street. We have to call them Ella Grace and Ella Kate so they know who we are talking to.

For dinner we let Ella choose anywhere she wanted to go and where would that be? McDonald's of course! Matt and I were sneaky and brought in food from a different restaurant for us! So we let them play and then headed to the promenade for Cold Stone.

They found a new favorite flavor: cotton candy.

They both had so much fun throwing coins in the fountain and getting soaked.


We had a family party for her that weekend, so more pics to come!

Happy Birthday Ella! So cute in that skirt! Way to go Aunt Gina! I love birthdays in the warm weather. They are so much easier to plan than winter birthdays.
