Jill & Mal: Birthday Girl!!!

Its hard to beleive that our Ella Victoria is 3 years old today! We had her birthday party this past weekend and she had sooo much fun! Mom and Dad (Grandma & Grandad) graciously took both of the children over night the night before so Mal and I had everything decorated when Ella arrived!!There are lots of pics to share so I'll keep this part brief!
Oh but I should mention ...there are very few pics of Henry as he decided to nap and slept through the whole party at our house!

Enjoy!

Cupcakes with pink icing ...part of Ella's request; the other was "ice cream cones!"

Time to open some presents ... now she can play golf with Grandad!

Our good friends...Beckett with Ella above and Barb, Will, Kelly and Loren below :-)

After presents it was time to head outside! As in my previous post this was a birthday gift from Grannie, Grandpa, Grandma & Grandad!! Mal worked really hard to have all the gravel in place in time for the party ...looks like a professional playground to me!

Chris & Veronica ...taking it all in ...aka "Do we really want to have kids ????"

Ella got 2 bubble machines for her birthday ...she LOVES bubbles so she was in heaven!!!

Taking the #3 off her cupcake!

The guys also enjoying the sunny afternoon ... afterall it was Fathers Day too!!1

Swinging!!! This is Ella's new favorite past time ... Emily on the far left is our neighbor , our good friend Loren in the middle and the birthday girl with Grandma!

As mentioned .. Ella only wanted cupcake and ICE CREAM CONES for her birthday...Will enjoyed his too!

MORE BUBBLES!!!

Ella received a "dress up" kit from Auntie Judy ....Oh it was minutes after everyone left and she was all dolled up!!

We went to my parents for a Father's Day BBQ in the afternoon and the festivities continued...Uncle Chris and Veronica had made beautiful pinatas for Ella...so we saved them for her to break with her cousins Kate & Eli
