Although Ella doesn't officially turn 1 until Wednesday, we had a little Halloween birthday festival Sunday afternoon! Ella and her friends (all dressed in their Halloween best) had a blast playing games and eating goldfish and cheerios! We had a "ducks on the pond" game (which turned into a "splashing in the pond" game), "dig for treasure" (which instead of digging through the rice krispies to find the candy, they just ate their way through them), and Emma's fishing pond (they all needed a little help with that one)! Everyone took a turn riding in El's new wagon, which they all loved! I think they all had a great time, I know Emma and Ella did! We attempted to get a "group picture" since they all looked so cute in their costumes. Surprisingly, I got one where they were all looking in the general vicinity of the camera so that one turned out pretty good. We didn't bother with presents and birthday cake (she'll get enough of that from her Mimi and Nana, I'm sure). It was a lot less stressful not having to worry with all of that. We were able to just hang out and have fun with the kids on a beautiful Sunday afternoon! I think we'll make this birthday festivElla an annual event!!

We are having a costume party on Saturday for big Lake (he will be 6). I plan to stick with the costumes as long as I can - the kids enjoy it and we get more out of the costumes!!!

It was a great day for a party! The kids were so cute playing all the games ("Splash" and "How many rice krispies can you eat?") Emma was a big help, as usual. What a GREAT Big sister! If you weren't there, you missed the cutest kids ever...especially the Bumble Bee! Happy Birthday Baby Ella!!!
