Ellie's Party

My best friend, Diane's (aka DiDi), little girl turned 6 last week. SIX!

I vividly remember when Ellie was born. I more vividly remember the unending weeks of colic her parents endured. I even more vividly remember the 2+ years she added onto OUR birth control! 

She is now a precious, expressive, prissy, girly, albeit still quite dramatic, loving BIG girl; and we love her! 

Addie was so excited to be invited to Ellie's big girl make-up birthday party!

(Ellie and friends)

Addie was quite observant and shy at first, literally stepping all over my toes in order to stay close enough to me!.

Check out this beautiful table! DiDi did such an amazing job with the decorations and food!

Addie made sure to keep the party going!

I love Ellie's expression here!

Check out that chin. She had certainly NOT been eating M & Ms and consuming more chocolate in a 30 minute period than she has in her entire life!

After cake and opening presents, it was make-up time!

Addie could have cared less about the make-up and way more about the chocolate!

Beautiful!

This is one of Ellie's friends.  I just loved this shot!

Addie could have cared less until she saw something she knew about...painting fingernails! I love the story telling in this set! I wish I would have moved the box in front of Ellie's hands, but you can pretty much see through it to see she's having her fingernails painted.

That interest lasted all of 2.5 seconds, and she was off to play with the ball! Loving how she's cutting those eyes!

Our precious, expressive, prissy, girly, albeit quite dramatic, loving little girl! Hmmm...see a few similarities (minus the colic!)?

Happy Birthday Ellie!
