Ella's 2nd Birthday Party


   To celebrate Ella turning two last week, her parents had a wonderful Minnie Mouse party for her.  Ella loves Minnie Mouse, and since we are going to Disney soon, my sister figured it would be the perfect theme.  My sister put so much work in to the party and everything was just perfect.  Ella loved everything and had a great time.  Ashlyn was so very excited to get to celebrate Ella's birthday at such a fun party.  I know that all the kids had a great time.

She is so tiny!

Such a pretty girl

The kids all loved the huge Minnie balloon my sister got
The adorable treat bags for the guests


The theme was Minnie's Bowtique.  My sister wanted to decorate the cake.  I came up with the idea of covering the cake with bows.  We liked the way it turned out.  Ella loved it.

Ashlyn got to help make the punch.  She LOVES punch!

So sweet

Eating the delicious food my sister made

One of the highlights of the party was that my sister made bow and bow tie sugar cookies for the kids to decorate.  They had a blast and went to town covering their cookies with frosting and lots of candy. 

Such a little perfectionist. 

She took her time to decorate two cookies and immediately declared they were for her Gram and Papa.  She is so sweet. 

Lots to decorate with.

Dawson was most interested in eating the frosting. LOL




Finally got to sample his cookie.

Unfortunately, the party was right at Dawson's nap time.  He was unusually tired that day.  After the cookie decorating, he started to melt down.  Joey snapped a great picture capturing him.  Poor little guy had to take a nap for half of the party.
