Today was the big day of Stella’s annual gingerbread house making tea party birthday party. Stella, Juliet and KJ came over at around 8:00 this morning so that Helen and Ron could make their place fabulous for the party. We had a great time with the kids and they were so happy and excited for the party. The party, of course was a great hit. This was the first year that Ella did the gingerbread house all by herself and it looked terrific. Ella had a great time and immediately hit it off with some of Stella’s new friends from school. I played the piano for a little bit and we had a fun sing-along. It was really a great party. At around 3:00, Ella and I went and picked up Ella’s friend Emmi for a sleepover. We came back here and they went straight to the instruments. Emmi played the drums and Ella was singing. We left a little while later to go to see Yogi Bear. I thought it was ok – the kids seemed to really like it. After the movie, we came back here, and the girls really went at it with the music. Ella changed into her Hannah Montana dress and Emmi picked a Sleeping Beauty dress. They were jamming to Hannah Montana. I put a little video at the end of this entry. We had dinner, read some books, the girls giggled and giggled and now the whole house is sleeping except me. I hope everyone sleeps through the night.
Good morning beautiful people!
The girls getting ready to go to Stella’s party. Bed jumping is a very important part of getting ready.
The process and the product. Beauty.

Adorable! So wonderful to have such good friends net door. And it’s a good thing too that your walls are pretty sound proof. Love you. mom
