ELLA
Yes, our 5 year old daughter has birthday parties for her stuffed animal, Ella. Ella has been a part of our family for almost 5 years and is considered Avas best friend. Let's just say, we have had more than one bday party for her. Last year, Ava talked her dad into a Peter Piper birthday party for Ella (we obviously had nothing better going on that particular fri night) so he obliged. This year she made invitations, cupcakes and left over dinner with a picnic on our tramp in the back yard with the yummy lawn that has cow manur all over it and we couldn't say NO! She has been talking about this party for a couple days and it was just our little family but it was perfect! Can I just say how depressing it is that our kids are growing up so fast? Jason and I were discussing today on the tramp of how we wish time would freeze. Our kids are at the most perfect ages and life is great. I don't want them growing anymore. It's so nice to have my 2 oldest so close together. I know that whatever Ava is planning, Emmie is wanting to do the same because they are so close in age. It is so comforting to have Ava include Emmie in almost everything. She is an amazing sister to both of them and I am so blessed to have her be my little helper.
Happy Birthday Ella! We hope to have another great year with you. You have been through it all with us and Ava truly does consider you one of her sisters! (I know that sounds crazy,but it's so true). I am so sorry that I use you as a pillow at times. Just know that Ava has her best interest for you and lets me "HAVE IT" when I use you as my pillow. I hope you don't take it personal. CHEERS!
Ella as she being sung to! Notice the crazy ear. It has been rubbed on one too many nights and had to be sewn back on. Grandma didn't do such a great job! It got sewn on backwards. Sorry Ella!

Our little family. Elsie was sleeping during the party and Ava was begging to wake her but I just couldn't do it. Sorry Elsie. Hopefully you won't be napping next year!
Beautiful Emmie. She loved us singing to Ella.
Ava "helping" Ella blow out her candle. Em in the background watching every move Ava makes!
She is into doing her hair on her own. Love the barretts at the bottom of the ponies!
Ava was in heaven. She is so sweet!
Ava and Emmie!

Ava was talking about this to me when you were out of town a month ago. Persistent girl! You guys are so good to go along with it all - I don't know if Sophie's mom & dad would of actually given the party?!?
So cute! Ava will remember that forever! You are so nice to make a big deal out of something that is important for her.
How cute. I remember when we first moved in to your ward and she always had it Ella at church. You guys will look back in 20 years and laugh about your little birthday party. So cute! And I was quite shocked to see you updated!
