A Fab 2-Tu Party for Ella!

Aunt Monica came to visit last weekend and she wanted to throw Ella a little birthday party with Ella's best friends here. What is better that a tutu party for a new two year old? And it was a great excuse for Monica and I to wear tutus, feather boas and tiaras. I don't think I have seen anything as girly since my trip through the Barbie aisle at FAO Schwartz. Everything was bedazzled, pink, shiny, feathery, pink...did I mention pink? But it was FABULOUS! We had an awesome time even though Ella woke up from her nap in the worst mood ever. We have deemed her the nickname Posh Spice because the smiles that night were few and far between. She had fun once she was able to blow out her candles (8 times) and she loved opening up her presents. Everything she opened had to be taken out of the box and set up or played with right then and there. Johnny helped out, too. Every now and then he would open a present and say "hey Ella, you got a barbie doll!" He wore his pirate costume to protect the girls in tutus;) I promised Johnny's dad he wouldn't wear a tiara allll night!

We kept it fun and simple and had an absolute blast. Ella asks to wear her tutus everyday and she loves dressing up with her tiara and feather boas. She is the ultimate girl.

The birthday girl:)

Ella controlling her guests with her magic wand (we called them magic wands because with a boy at the party it sounded better than princess wands)

The Hostesses...who probably had more fun at the party than the kiddos:)

Yes, we made our own tutus. And it took many, many yards of tulle.

Monica is a very happy ballerina. Maybe it's the wine.

Johnny loves aunt Monica and kept laughing all night with her.

Ella building her princess 3-D Castle.

Aunt Monica bought Ella her first Britney Spears tee...and True Religion Jeans. My two year old has designer denim.

Ella showing me her newest Princess doll.

Callie couldn't help but buy Ella her first pair of heels. Actually, it was a 4 pack of heels so they match every outfit;)

Cadence playing in the new tent! She is too cute!

Ella was putting her new dolls to sleep.

There aren't words for this photo.

Finally happy and smiling!

My besties. I love these ladies.

We stayed in our tutus long after the party ended.

Still playing!

I say the party was a success. Birthday girl is smiling, happy and LOVES her new gifts.

Thank you Aunt Monica for a fabulous idea and beautiful party. Ella has the best Auntie ever and I hope you know that she loves and adores you! It's cute to hear her on the phone with G-Ma, or Granny P and even Daddy asking for "annika". Definitely left a lasting impression:) To see more pics from the 2-tu party, click here.
