Big Top Ellen!

Step right up ... hosting the birthday girl on the Main Stage ... Ellen!

We had a circus theme for Ellen's birthday party this year and it was really fun, if I do say so myself. This circus Duplo set was her gift from us. I saw it on the Internets and thought it would be great for her party, and it is just as cute in person.

We had our families and two of Ellen's little friends (and their mamas and dadas) over for birthday shenanigans. Let me say that 4:30-6:00pm seemed like about a 4 1/2 hour party, but in the best possible, crazy toddler, kind of way.

Ellen and Lucy acting like a couple of real teenagers ... sitting centimeters from each other, but nary a word between them.

Silly straws for silly kids ...

Ellen has been practicing "Happy Birf-day To Me!", "bow out candas, mama!"

There was lots of clowning around, and, as you can imagine, not the perfect picture opportunities after 1 cupcake and 17 boxes of popcorn. None the less, thanks so much to our friends and families for joining us to celebrate with this little monkey!

Did she sleep until 10am out of pure exhaustion? I wanted to! Stoopid job :)
I almost used that pic of Ells & Lucy for my picture of the day ... hilarious!
It was a ton of fun! Thanks for including me. Can't wait until next year! Are you ready for the sleep-over birthday parties?

Can't decide who had the most fun...the kids or the adults. Sorry to be so far away...but wishing everyone a very Happy Birthday!
