Ella's 5th Birthday/Party

I know I say this every year, but I just can't believe it's been 5 years since Ella was born. She makes me very happy, she's become quite the young lady! My two little girls really are my best friends! Her birthday party pics are first, as we had to have her party before her actual birthday this year, which I don't like to do. But, with September being an insanely busy month for us, I didn't have a choice. The following pics are of her actual birthday, which fell on a Saturday. That morning, we walked in the Jesse James Day Parade on behalf of Sam for work. They were decked out in the little Graves shirts and waving their American flags, which was so cute! Then, I ended up getting 4 free passes to the Worlds of Fun Halloween Haunt, so me, Josh, my mom and step-dad, and the girls went. It was a free day since Ella has a pass and Sloane is still of the age where she is free. While it did rain towards the end of the day, we had a lot of fun!

Friend's Birthday Party

My friend, Jenn, had her little girl's 4th Birthday party a couple weeks ago. Her little girl, Isa, and Ella are friends. She went all out for the party...she had dance instructors come teach the girls a routine to perform and she also made them each tutu's. The girls had a lot of fun! I took Josh's cousin's little girl, Alana, with us as well! Sloane stole the show at the end :)
