What a busy birthday!!

I can't believe my baby girl is 4 years old - where has that time gone?

We got up early Monday morning as we wanted to open presents before we had to take E to school. Both kids were so excited. Here are a few photos of the opening frenzy

Ella loves Mariposa Barbie at the moment - in fact the other day she told me "My name isn't Ella any more it's Ellaposa!" So she was so excited to get a Mariposa Barbie.

After dropping E at school and going to swimming lessons we headed to Silly Seahorse Playcentre with Sasha & Talia.

The girls had a special birthday lunch of Fairy Bread and Bratz fruit drinks.



When Daddy got home from work Ella got to open her present from Aunty Kirsty & Great Grandmama. Ella has been asking for a Baby Alive doll for quite a while so when she got some money for her birthday from Kirsty and Grandmama I thought it would make the perfect present. Oh my goodness she loves it - she's hardly put it down since she got it!!

I think the look on her face says it all!!!

Gran and Pa came around for dinner and birthday cake, so that meant more presents....

As soon as she saw this she said "the Ella movie!!" - she hadn't seen it before but recognised her own name. We've watched it a couple of times since she got it and she really loves it!



Then it was time for cake.....

How old are you Ella??
Whew what a busy day!!!

Happy Birthday baby girl, we hope you had a good day.
