With my sister in town and her little girls birthday coming up soon after Ella's we thought how fun it would be to celebrate their birthdays together. My Mom and Melanie made these adorable outfits and we all worked on making them two huge cupcake cakes. I thought why not do the cupcake theme- it is pretty popular for a little girls first birthday. My Mom had also found this super old highchair that we got their pictures in. Melanie took all these pictures and did such an amazing job. Some of them are taken in front of the little old white house by my parents home. My sister could just see how cute these pictures were going to be with the neat vines growing all over this little house.
We went way overboard for a 1st birthday and we know these little ones will not remember any of this but it was a memory that I know all of the rest of us will never forget. Thank-you Mom and Mel for making this such a special day. It was well worth all the hard work. (:
We had to freeze the cakes so the frosting would stay in place so instead of Ella being able to dig into it she went straight for the one on top.
We had so much fun working with fondant for the first time
The two little cuties
All the cousins- All girls of course (:
We were in St. George over Ella's birthday so even though we had already celebrated it I could not resist to do a little something on her real birthday- July 21st. We decided on taking her to one of our favorite restaurants- The Pizza Factory. I found this adorable cupcake cake for her and was so excited for her to dig into it. She has a sweet tooth like her mom thats for sure. (:
Love you baby girl

How adorable! Those two little girls on their first birthday are just too cute! You made it so special for them, and some day when they see the pictures, they are really going to appreciate all your hard work!
Those were the cutest pictures of the two birthday girls!!! They will be such great friends, especially now that Melanie will be living closer. The cupcake cakes you made (and bought) were just darling! We surely enjoyed being with your parents in Alaska!!
so adorable!!! looks like little ella had some fun with those cupcakes :)
I do have to say that Ella and Lilly had the best first birthday ever (thanks to all of us). I had so much fun and Ella couldn't be cuter. Can't wait to see you soon.
LIsa I cant't believe I didn't leave a comment on the birthday post. It was so much fun being together and making, sewing and creating all the fun items for the party. LOVe you so much....MOM
