{ella's 2nd birthday} the countdown begins...

We are fast approaching Ella Scarlet's SECOND birthday!

Can you believe it's almost been one year ago that I hosted the "La Petite Boulangerie" themed FIRST birthday party for her?

I can tell you that I'm excited about the theme I've picked for this year!

My wheels have been turning for months now.

Yesterday I received the first indication that the "count-down" has officially begun...

This package arrived from Tiny Belles Boutique containing part of Ella's little birthday outfit

Of course we had to open it and try it on immediately...

Ella looked SO adorable in it I think I actually squealed out loud!

Thank you Emily from Tiny Belles Boutique....we LOVE it!

So there you go...

a tiny little hint about what's to come!

I promise to continue to share little details along the way...

But the suspense is always a little fun too! *wink*

Hope you all have a great Tuesday.

KEEPING IT REAL

I was so excited when the box arrived that even though I still had pajamas on, I stood out on the front entry after opening the box, & stripped Ella down right there on the spot so I could try it on her.

Lucky for me she already had a little white shirt on which made it SUPER easy for me to take advantage of the photo opportunity!

And lucky for the neighbors I have some foliage & a large rose bush that sort of hides me from their view...*wink*
