With the amazing help from Helen, Ron and Nikki B, we pulled off another really fun birthday party. We had Ella’s third birthday party at My Gym and Ella was so excited. It started with Ella, Stella and Juliet and then Ella watched her school buddies come in one by one. We also had some old friends from the neighborhood. The kids were all fantastic. Ella was like a new kid at My Gym. She did all of the activities and danced her little heart out. I have so much footage and not so much time before I have to go to sleep so I will just put in some photos and I will work on the movie tomorrow. We ended up back at our place after the party and Amy gave Ella her very first princess dress (we have been avoiding this for 3 years). Ella was in heaven and Stella and Juliet changed into theirs too. After a lot of playing in the house, we went to Moki’s for dinner where Ella passed out at around 6:30. What a great day and night.

Getting ready to conquer the piñatas (which were duds), but Mommy and Helen came to the rescue and ripped them open!

Amy is the guilty party who went to the Disney store and bought Ella’s dress (and shoes and crown). Oy vey.
I look at this picture and think…”CRAZY!”

Ella looks so happy at her party. And I am very impressed by those beautiful cupcakes; Lauren, I think you’ve found a second career. I love the last picture of princess Ella with the pink baseball mitt, and a slight cleavage. Love you. Mom
