We had a birthday party for Ellasen on Sunday at our house. The theme was "Ice Cream Cone". Ellasen chose the theme herself, and she shared her party with her friend Kylie who was turning 1! She had a great time eating cake and ice cream and opening presents. I think her favorite part was having everyone sing happy birthday to her. She also loved the ice cream cone shaped bubbles we gave out as favors. We had a cake shaped like an ice cream cone, ice cream cone cupcakes, homemade ice cream sandwiches, and a huge ice cream sundae bar. We also served dinner (lasagna, salad & garlic bread). Huge thanks to Emily, baby Kylie's mom and my good friend, for helping to host, for spending 4 hours making the cake with me, and for helping me decorate and pull the whole thing off! We made a great team! Also, a big thank you to everyone who came to celebrate! You all are the best friends two little girls (and two big girls :) ) could ask for! You treat us and our kids like family!

On the morning of Ellasen's real birthday I put her candle in her bagel and sang Happy Birthday just to her. She blew out the candle herself this time...she was too nervous at her party!
Later on in the day Daddy came home for a little while and Ellasen got to open some more gifts! She got Lego's, play dough and some movies from Mommy and Daddy and a Rock and Roll Elmo from Grandpa. I forgot to get pictures of her opening her gifts from Grandma, but she got snow pants and boots, a cute vest, a purse and a book! We are leaving tomorrow to make the trip to Michigan to see my family and we will have another little party there with Nana and Papa and all the rest of my family. Ellasen is a lucky girl!
