Ella turned 3 today! I can hardly believe it. Where did the time go? We had a fun day of opening presents a bit here and a bit there. Nana made french toast for breakfast and I made spaghetti for dinner (Ella's choice). We had some friends come over for dinner and of course had cake. I made my first cake with fondant and I think it turned out pretty well. Ella wanted a polka dot cake with the colors of Strawberry Shortcake (yes she is still obsessed), so that's what we did! I do have to give credit to many others who helped out (Marissa helped with the fondant and Brady did quite a bit of fondant coloring for me...turns out you need a back for that!). She loved the cake and presents she got. All in all it was a fun day, and I have a big 3 year old!
The cake
Our little gourmet chef! She got a chef outfit from her Nana and Grandpa including an apron, mits, a hat, and a few cooking items.
Ella got to open presents with Grandma Karen on the webcam. She got a Strawberry Shortcake pool and a ladybug lunchbox!
She has been wanting a grocery cart and food for a while so it was time! Only issue is, Carter LOVES it and Ella does not want to share yet. Guess it's a nap time toy for now.
Blowing out the candles...
Playing with Luke, having a scream competition. Why do they do that?!
Carter was a big fan of the cake!
Ella and Lily in their matching jammies ready to have movie night for her birthday. Aren't they cute? Thanks Nana!
