the kids seemed to really like it. \u00a0After the movie, we came back here, and the girls really went at it with the music. \u00a0Ella changed into her Hannah Montana dress and Emmi picked a Sleeping Beauty dress. \u00a0They were jamming to Hannah Montana. \u00a0I put a little video at the end of this entry. \u00a0We had dinner, read some books, the girls giggled and giggled and now the whole house is sleeping except me. \u00a0I hope everyone sleeps through the night.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/126.jpg\" alt=\"126.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/212.jpg\" alt=\"212.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/310.jpg\" alt=\"310.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/410.jpg\" alt=\"410.jpg\" \/>\u00a0Good morning beautiful people!<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/58.jpg\" alt=\"58.jpg\" \/>\u00a0The girls getting ready to go to Stella&#8217;s party. \u00a0Bed jumping is a very important part of getting ready.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/69.jpg\" alt=\"69.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/78.jpg\" alt=\"78.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/88.jpg\" alt=\"88.jpg\" \/>\u00a0The process and the product. \u00a0Beauty.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/97.jpg\" alt=\"97.jpg\" \/>\u00a0Juliet, Stella and Ron right before Stella blew out her candle.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/106.jpg\" alt=\"106.jpg\" \/>\u00a0So much love.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/1111.jpg\" alt=\"1111.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/127.jpg\" alt=\"127.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lifewithella.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/135.jpg\" alt=\"135.jpg\" \/>ELla and Emmi making beautiful music together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was the big day of Stella&#8217;s annual gingerbread house making tea party birthday party. \u00a0Stella, Juliet and KJ came over at around 8:00 this morning so that Helen and Ron could make their place fabulous for the party. \u00a0We had a great time with the kids and they were so happy and excited for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pictures","category-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7774\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifewithella.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
