Ella's 2nd Birthday Party

I have been thinking about Ella's first birthday party for a while. I wanted it to be perfect and extra special for her. 

I saw this felt wreath on pinterest and decided to make it myself. It ended up being too time consuming so I probably wouldn't do it again. 

Somehow I decided I liked the little bird theme but I also wanted to add a touch of asian flair. 

I used paper lanterns to decorate with.

I found the banners on etsy.com and the colors were perfect. I chose the colors because it went well with her Korean hanbok (dress). I had her pictures made in her hanbok to use for the party.

Mom wanted to know how she could help so I asked her if she would make cake pops. 

They turned out so cute!

A coworker of mine made the cake. She always does a fantastic job.

I can't believe she is 2 already! She was soooo excited about her party!

 

The party favors were little asian to go boxes I found at Hobby Lobby in the perfect colors. Inside were hershey kisses and a fortune cookie.

I got this idea from a fellow blogger. So easy and super cute! These are Target brand frappuccino bottles and I glass etched them with an e. 

Ella could not wait to see who was at the door. How sweet!

Ella loves her Mommy Doris and Nana!

I had her adoption video playing. I finally ordered it so I could have it for the party. It starts with Dec. 2009 with our application and ends Dec 2011 with her finalization. 

The boys were so excited for Ella to blow out her candles. I just love this picture!

Ella wasted no time getting her some cake!

Broadway came dressed in his tux for a special balloon show.

I love when she cuts those almond shaped eyes!

She loved the balloons!

All the others loved the balloons too!

She couldn't wait to open her presents. Two of her favorite things.... Dora and books.

Her special day was just how I pictured it....family, friends, and fun! 

She is the cutest two year old I know!

Ella, my birthday wish for you this year is for you to always know how much we love you.
