It's a Polka Dot Birthday Party!

 Patrick designed this card and did amazing!  I love how he can just make my ideas come to life.

We had Ellie's 3rd birthday in our backyard.  It was a really warm day, but we were able to enjoy the shade and had a wonderful time!  I found a polka dot birthday cake that I wanted to try and mentioned polka dots to Ellie and she was so excited about it.  She would tell everyone that she was having a polka dot birthday party!

Decorations all set up and ready to party!

The party started off with presents and Ellie made a hall.  She got so many fun things and was very good at telling everyone thank you.  She is a really good gift opener.

We had a yummy lunch with burgers, hot dogs, vegi's, fruit, slushy drink and yummy cake!

We took a little break from the sun and rested up before eating cake.

Blowing out the candles

It turned out so great with polka dots throughout the inside!

Love that she is so ready to be done with pictures!

Then we headed out to play some baseball when it cooled down a bit.  She's a pro!

 Ready to catch the ball

 Ellie loved running the bases.  So much energy still even after a long day.  She will sleep good tonight!

I am so grateful for our families both living close enough that we are able to get together for birthdays.  It makes it so much fun to be able to see everyone and I know that Ellie will have lots of fun memories of her birthdays!
