We celebrated Ella's 5th birthday this year with a party for her and her friends at the Carousel downtown. E's always loved the Carousel, and frankly so do the rest of us. It was a great place to do a party.....they provided the cake (Ben & Jerry's ice cream cake!), decorations and rides on the carousel, and all we had to do was show up. Lots of fun!
After the kids' party we headed back to our house for a get together with the family. Zac & Kristen, Kellie & Abby, Tom & Ruth and Grammy & Papa. This round of party included a Barbie cake, which Grammy Sharon had brought for Ella, and she couldn't have been more excited.
The day of Ella's actual birthday, we gave her our gift - a new bike! It was a low-key day, but we did head to Red Robin for lunch and an ice cream sundae!
Ella Rose is 5!! Unbelievable! Love her more and more with each year.
