Guess what? Ellen is another year older, and we had another great birthday party for her!!
This year was the first year that her friends were old enough to really understand what a birthday party is, and all of the little kids were confused why we weren't having birthday cake right away Friday night when everybody showed up.
Lucky for the little kids, the weather wasn't great Saturday morning so we decided to do cake in the morning since we had to be inside anyways!
Ellen requested a mermaid cake, and I think Mama did a pretty great job! I loved the golden white-chocolate mermaid tails!! It tasted just as delicious as it looked!
It wasn't too long after cake that the weather got better and we were all able to get outside and do some playing.
Of course, I wasted no time getting in the lake!!
I really like playing on the paddle boards, and it was great getting to share that with my friends.
And no trip to the lake would be complete with out some tubing!! Papa Tim got a new tube for us and the little kids loved it! That is, until it tipped and they all fell in the water! Luckily there were a bunch of dads on the boat and they all jumped in right away to help the little kids out.
I was on the blue tube because I am not worried at all about getting thrown in the water.
Not only was it Ellen's birthday, but it was also Maren's first time in the lake! Unfortunately it was too cold and she didn't like it one bit.
It was also her first boat ride! Her life jacket looked so big on her, but she didn't seem to mind too much.
It was such a fun weekend hanging out with friends.
And look back on how much everybody has grown each year!
Of course, Mama had to get Ellen's annual birthday picture at the lake...
And annual Selfie with Mama!
Of course, Mama made some pretty cute invitations too, so I have to show them off.
Aren't they cute?!? It is hard to tell, but they are pop-up cards!
It was a fantastic weekend with friends,
Linden
