Ella's Early Birthday Party

It was just one of those days. I woke up Tuesday morning to make Ella's teapot cake and we were out of oil. The house was a mess. I still had to go to the store for party food. So, Ella got to pick out whatever "grocery store cake" she wanted. She picked the tie-dye one! Then Addie didn't take her nap. I was feeling sick. But by two oclock it all came together and the dress-up tea party was a sucess!
We set up tables in the living room and each girl got her own (39 cent from goodwill!!) teacup to take home. The dining room was used as the dress up area--we just put out all of our dress up clothes, some of my jewelry and shoes. It's funny what the girls picked. For example, Ella is wearing the mermaid head scarf, an arabian dress Jess got her from Iraq, and a ballet skirt.
They had a wonderful time!

It really was a great party. I thought Ella picked a great dress up ensemble. And the tea cups were such an awesome party favor!
