Well, it's official, our girl is T-W-O! This year we were lucky to have Ella's birthday fall on a Saturday, so her party to celebrate was on her actual big day. We wanted to do something a little different for her birthday this year, so we decided on a breakfast {DONUT} birthday party! What kid doesn't LOVE donuts, right?! Ella was beyond excited in the weeks leading up to her party knowing that she would get to celebrate with family, best friends, and her all time fave...donuts!
The morning started with our tradition of singing "Happy Birthday" to Miss E as she woke up with balloons surrounding her. She didn't know what to think at first, but soon got excited about all the pink and green balloons in her bed!
The party started at 9:30, so we hurried to get ready and set-up before our guests arrived! Ella wore her special birthday gown and waited for all her friends in pj's to get there ready to eat some donuts!!!
There were plenty of donuts, milk, and coffee for everyone...and then some!
There was a donut game for the kids to play with as they arrived. (Thanks, Honey!) We also had paper place mats on the table with crayons to color with, as well as fruit loops to make necklaces! I think they enjoyed eating the fruit loops more than anything though!
Once everyone was there it was time to start the party! Since her "cake" was made out of donuts we did things in reverse. The singing and blowing out candles came first so we could dig into the sprinkle donuts that made the cake. I think Ella enjoyed the attention and getting to blow out the candles by herself!
Time for breakfast!!!
After loading up on sugar it was time to open presents! We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends who went above and beyond to shower Ella Grace with gifts. She got so many adorable things!
Emerson was such an angel through the entire party. She slept so quietly in her swing and then got passed around for some lovin' from everyone. :)
Ella had such a fun time at her party! She is SO enjoying walking around saying, "I'm 2!". :)
Our day of partying didn't stop there though! Ella's cousin Clayton shares the same b-day with her, so it was off to the next celebration that evening. Cari did such a great job with his Baby Einstein 1st birthday!
