On January 14th, Ella turned six. And we have been celebrating for days! :) Her big requests this year were dinner out at Applebee's and a friend birthday party.
We sang and ate these cupcakes as a family after Applebee's. The rest of these cupcakes, she took to school. Then on her birthday morning, she got to partake in a Connors' family tradition of opening some small gifts that are wrapped and tied together and hung on her bedroom door. She opened her other gifts at lunch time - Dad came home special. She got this great necklace from her friends, Maya and Olivia; they sent a birthday package.
I made these chocolate chip cookies and added the leftover frosting from the cupcakes to them so Ella had a birthday treat to take to church. We had a planning time that night and the kids played with friends while we planned so she shared and celebrated then too!

How fun ... I love the idea of having a pink birthday party. So girlish! I can't believe Ella is already six. Time really does fly by!
