Ella turns FOUR!


My big girl wanted input on her birthday this year...
So I pulled up four different choices of themes and let her decide.
She chose the "glamping" which is a glamed up camping.
Camping had been on her brain since October.
We camped a weekend in Brown County in our tent.
(I might add that it was crazy COLD that first weekend in October, 
but the kids had no clue because they were having so much fun.)
She had never stayed in our tent because we always stay in Andre's parents camper.
She was pumped to stay the least.
So I am pretty sure thats why the glamping party appealed to her.

Glamping it was....
This was one of my favorites to decorate for, it was a rather low cost party.
Between the sticks from our backyard, cans that everyone donated, and the pinecones
I found in my parents yard... I didn't have to spend tons more on decorating.

We also decided to have it a the Club House, for more room.
On the day of her party I was so glad we did this because It had snowed SO much.
We would have had nowhere to park and snow all over our house.


So here it is... my Sweet Princess and her Glamping birthday.

 Daddy holding her hair away from the fire...love this picture.


 I love this picture too... I bought sparkling candles and had no clue 
they would be hard to blow out.  Every time she blew them out they would 
light back up... It was a fun twist!

Present time....






 The crew of kiddos...


Two cute girlies...
 



Four generations...
My grandma is usually never home for Ella's birthday because they go to 
Florida.  This year she was home because of her brother passing... sad 
circumstances to bring her home but, it was so nice having her home!

Our sweet little family...
  


We had a wonderful evening with our little girl.
Miss Ella I hope your mommy pulled through for you and 
gave you the camping birthday you wanted.
Love you big FOUR year old!
