before i go any further, let me give a huge disclaimer…i realize this is a little much for a birthday party. but truth be told, it was so much fun for me that, well, i figured it was a party for both of us. i don't remember having very many birthday parties when i was younger. in fact, i only remember one. the year i turned 5 i had a strawberry shortcake party. the details are still vivid in my mind. i loved everything about it.
so when ella told me she wanted a strawberry shortcake party for her 5th birthday, you can imagine i was all about it. most of all, i wanted her to remember it like i remember mine. you don't need to have a ton of birthday parties…just one or two that make childhood magical.
and that is exactly what it felt like for her. and me.

So cute! I’m so glad to know there’s another mom out there who believes that you don’t have to have a party every single year. Just once in a while- a big bang! Happy birthday little woman!
Very cute! I’m sure it is a party she will always remember!
You never cease to A*MAZE me!!!
