Despite having to take Ella to the doctor the morning of her party & being diagnosed with and ear infection, we still had a great time at her party! She was such a trooper. It's hard to believe she is already 1 but we have been so blessed. She is happy, healthy, smart & funny....SO FUNNY!!
We wanted a small party, especially since she won't remember it anyway, but we wanted it to be cute and something she would enjoy looking back on. We used a lot of vintage items from both my Grandmothers and the rest was homemade. *Luckily we have been blessed with creative friends!* I wish I would have taken more pictures, but here are some of the decorations.
The desert table with the quilt my grandmother made me as a backdrop
The balloon wreath I made (thanks Pinterest)
Ella's birthday banner
A pillow case that belonged to my Grandmother that Lacy made into a doll! So cute!
Love cupcakes...
and pink cookies shaped like footballs with popcorn filled waffle cones.
Isn't that ruffle cake ADORABLE!?!?!?!
Party favors!
It's not a party without a pennant!
Daddy showing Ella how yummy cake is,
She didn't believe him...
She felt so bad, but she was trying!

We were able to celebrate with some wonderful family & friends! We are so thankful for all those who have been there for us this past year as we've become a family of 3 and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
