Ella was invited to a friend's birthday party on Saturday the 6th, which also happened to be the day of the Daddy / Daughter dance, which she has been looking forward to for an entire year! This party was at Sweet & Sassy, where the girls could get their hair, nails, and make up done, and dress up pretty! It was a little overwhelming and crowded, so she wasn't that into it at first, but she warmed up before the end.
Getting hair fixed (not so thrilled)
Cute hair! And the birthday girl in the background getting eyeshadow done!
Nails next, still unsure. She also got a small amount of make up on. They did a little fashion show with all the girls, but Ella opted out of that, so we sat and watched :)
Next we went to the party room and were ready for snacks and cake
Feeling better now, and excited about what's coming next!
After the party was over, about 5 of the girls' families (all the dads and brothers met us) went downstairs to lunch at CPK. After the girls had lunch with their Daddies, and the Moms and boys over at the next table, it was time for the Moms to go get the girls dressed and ready for the dance!
Cole was needing a nap, and missing me while I stepped away, so Eric tried to entertain him with the camera on his phone.
It's clearly working. HA!
The girls got all dressed and we killed a little bit of time in the mall taking pictures before heading back up to the party spot where they had a BIG surprise for the girls!
So ready!

Blessed to know these wondeful friends and neighbors!
Had to get a picture of the Moms.... the brains and beauty behind this whole event!!
Ready to ride!!
I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall... just sayin!!
Eric said it was loud and silly..... as you can imagine, they were all SOOOOO excited!
Just look at that smile!
More great grins

The fun didn't end there! Ella and Lucy had a date after at the mall, rode the carousel, went to the bookstore, and had dinner with their Daddies at the Cheesecake Factory!

It was almost more fun in one day than a sweet 4 year old could handle! They got home around 7pm, and this girl was WORE OUT!!! But I know she had an amazing time from all the precious stories she told me. Special moments with her friends and her Daddy! I'm sure she's already looking forward to next year's, although I'm not sure how we'll ever top this one!
