party till we drop

it was definitely an ella palooza birthday this year.
she got to share her special "day" with all her friends at school. she was sooo excited, making sure i brought all the things necessary for a school party. she was very specific.
i purposely chose tuesday for the big day knowing that barth could most likely make an appearance.
leave it to the unpredictability of his job, his one case for the day got bumped from 7:30am to 1:45pm.
the situation was looking quite grim, especially for the little girl who was over the moon by the fact that daddy just might come.
he carefully explained to her on tuesday morning that there was another little girl he had to fix and that he probably wouldn't be able to make it.
she took the news like a brand new six year old would, not a tear was shed.

after we left school that day she gave me a hug and said, "that was the best party ever".
the pictures say it all.... 


i don't know who was more excited, ella or this little one....

 another guest of honor...auntie j

this is ella's teacher, miss keen whom i absolutely adore. she is the best.
notice ella standing on the chair. i was informed that this is completely acceptable on birthday's only.
ella chose 6 hugs over 6 noogies from her teacher...


 so, i love this next picture. she was on the playground having the time of her life with her friends and i got a BIG smile out of her, very un-ella like considering the circumstances. typically she is my shy girl and i consider myself very lucky just to get a sheepish "hi" out of her when she is at school. another sign she is growing up i guess..... 

these next two speak for themselves.
guess who popped in just in time .
her day was made completely perfect
thank you daddy for making your little girl so happy. i ♥ u.
