She nixed the sleepover & decided to host a brunch for her friends. Girlfriend likes her sleep too much. Plus, Rocky is the type of guest who would get right in there & cuddle with everyone whether they like dogs or not.

Ella put together her musical play list for background music during the party. The party started with a photo booth with plenty of props. I let the girls use my instant camera and my little point & shoot. Plus, half the girls had their own smart phone.

The girls decorated frames to hold photos from the party. We painted the frames before the party (I used chalkboard paint for the first time) & let them add jewels. My thought was that we would send a digital print to everyone, but the girls preferred instamax prints.

and a very popular hot chocolate bar with toppings.
For the past few years, instead of receiving gifts from her friends, Ella has hosted a stuffed animal exchange.
