Ella's Winter Tea 6th Birthday Party

We had so much fun with Ella's Winter Tea Party!

 Emy came down in her nightgown and was perfectly happy to attend the tea party in it. :-)

 Ella poured "tea" (aka pink hot chocolate) for everyone and even helped Emy stir hers.

Ella's Early 6th Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Ella's birthday on the Sunday before so we could all be there. She opened most of her presents and had cake. It was a good thing we did celebrate early because by the time her real birthday rolled around on Thursday she was one sick girl. :-(

 Emy got the "SEA WITCH"! She loves The Little Mermaid and was always coming up with dolls that could represent Ursula, so it was a perfect gift.

 It was a very Monster High birthday!

Frozen Dresses!

The girls love their Anna and Elsa (from Disney's Frozen) dresses and shoes! Thank you, Gramma & Papa!

New Year's Eve

One more floor and the doll house would be as tall as Emy. :-)
