We all had a great day on Ella’s birthday. Ella had school and Sunny and I had the day off from work. We spent the last hour of Ella’s school day in her classroom. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time with Ella and her Octopus class. We were going to go with Ella to get her ears pierced after school but she decided that she didn’t want to. We are not going to push her into getting her ears pierced. She’ll do it when she’s ready. At night, we had dinner at Nama with Phyllis and Naomi and then the Kim/Arenas came over for the best cake in the world. Check out the photos below – Sunny outdid herself with a Minion Cake!
Ella’s first picture as an 8 year old.
This was on the board in Ella’s classroom. Ella answered a bunch of questions and her teacher Colette put it up on the board as a graphic organizer. Ella’s classmates used this graphic organizer to make individual pages in Ella’s amazing birthday book.
We brought in a mash-up of madelines and brownies for Ella’s birthday treat.
Mommy – the pastry chef began her masterpiece by making minions out of twinkles…
The amazing minion cake! It was delicious as well as gorgeous.
Ella had her dinner presented to her with dry ice.
Happy Birthday Ella. We love you so much!
I love Ella’s favorites! Looks like a beautiful birthday. Wish I were with you. Have a wonderful birthday weekend with Uncle Jesse and Aunt Heather. Love you. Mom
