Ellie's 3rd Birthday!

I can't believe our sweet little Ellie is 3 years old. Time needs to slow down! We had a little bit of a rough birthday weekend but were able to reschedule her little party to Sunday morning which worked out because it was her actual birthday (unfortunately Aunt Amy had to work - we missed you Aunt Amy).  Poor Ellie woke up on Friday morning with strep throat and then Saturday with croup.  Thankfully, her fever went away by Sunday and we had our family over the celebrate her birthday and St. Patrick's Day.  Ellie was very tired and still not feeling 100% during her party, but she still managed to have some fun.  Ellie is obsessed with Lalaloopsy so was very excited to pick that as her theme when we went to Party City to plan her party.  During her party, we also had Lalaloopsy tattoos, jumped in our neighbors bouncy house in the garage, and had a cupcake pinata.  It was a fun day celebrating the 3rd birthday of our little leprechaun!

Yummy donut holes, fruit and bagels to eat!

Lalaloopsy pink and white cupcakes with rings on top!

Madelyn helped with the decorations and suggested lining up the Lalaloopsies on the mantel.  Great idea Madelyn!

All ready for the party!

Sweet sisters!

Joshua loved his Lalaloopsy tattoo!

Time for the pinata!

Ellie was not a happy camper during her presents.  She got used to it after a while.  She definitely had her ups and downs during the party!

Loves her horse from the Nolan family!

Happy Birthday to Ellie.  Doesn't she look thrilled?

She did enjoy blowing out the candle!

The girls thought it would be funny to tattoo Daddy's forehead.  Daddy is such a good sport!

Yay, I'm 3 years old today!
