Ella's 3rd Birthday

Candles on a brownie! Ella had to wait a week until she and Maddi had their combined party to get her real cake. :)
 Ella wanted to have a "Breakfast Dinner" for her Birthday Dinner. And Lance walking in the door with this balloon was the highlight of the day!
It took the girls all day to teach Ella how to hold up her three fingers but she was so proud when she figured it out.


Thank you Aunt Karen and Uncle Layne!!!





Our cute little Ella is 3! It's hard to believe she is this old. :) One of my favorite memories from her actual Birthday is when we visited a Farm to pick strawberries with some friends. The farm had a few "rides" or extra attractions that of course cost extra money (outside of the fee to get in) and we usually by-pass them however the girls were talking about wanting to buy a gift for Ella so I made the suggestion that they could use their money to buy her a pony ride. I wasn't sure they would go for this seeing as how they wouldn't have enough money left to go for a ride themselves, but once we got there they only hesitated a moment and then excitedly bought her a pony ride ticket and watched like proud parents while she had her first pony ride! :) I have to remember these "Shining Moments" for the times when we aren't so Shiny!
