Ella’s Ballerina Birthday!

 

5 Year Old Pictures by my sweet friend Emily at Emily Elrod Photography:

 

We had decided months ago that we wanted to have Ella’s 5th birthday party at our new house…little did we know that we would move in and in less than 2 weeks we were having a party!  It was a little stressful but we pulled it off (and only had to stay up 2 nights in a row until 2am!) 

 

I decided that I was going to make tutus for all the girls…WOW!  Thank goodness for friends and family that helped me make them.  I hope I don’t have to make another tutu for a very long time..lol!

 

 

The birthday princess and her princess ballerina friends…

 

Cory and my brother made a stage for the ballerinas to dance on.  They loved it!

 

Evan wanted to wear a tutu and dance too :)

 

No princess ballerina is complete without a tiara and some bling :)

Happy 5th birthday to my little ballerina!

Ella’s Preschool Graduation

It seems like yesterday we were dropping Ella off for her first day of “pretty school” and now she is graduating from preschool!  I tear up every time I think about her going to big school!  She’s growing up too fast!  The first couple months of preschool were rough because Ella cried every time we left her.  I made Cory take her most of the time because I couldn’t stand to leave her crying.  Eventually the tears went away and she loved pretty school.  She made some great friends and so did I!  We can’t thank SYC enough for helping us get our little gal ready for big school :)

 

 

Ella and her friend Bentley…he would wait on Ella to get to preschool so he could hold her hand so she wouldn’t cry.  Such sweet friends :)

Ella and her buddy Amelia

We are so proud of our preschool graduate!!  We love you Ella to the moon and back!!!
