Ella turned four years old on April 25th and below are some photos of her special day and weekend. Her Godmother, Dawn and her daughter, Whitney came to Woodstock to celebrate Ella's birthday. We had a busy weekend planned ...........Friday night dinner at American Girl Resturant where Ella and Whitney got to bring their dolls; Saturday lunch at mexican restaurant; Saturday afternoon tea at Tea Leaves and Thyme and Sunday her party at Earth, Paint and Fire where they painted icecream bowls and ate icecream cake! She had such a wonderful birthday and was especially appreciative to spend quality time with Whitney and Dawn which made her 4th birthday so special!!!!!!
