Happy "Bear"day Ella

Ella's 6th Birthday Party

at Build-A-Bear

Sophie, Adelaide, Ella, Rachel, Colby,

Lucy, Abby and Kate with the bears they made.

 This was Ella's big 6 year old SURPRISE party.
Ella went on a Daddy Date.  As they walked by
Build-A-Bear she asked if they could go inside.  

James said yes, and Ella had no idea we 

were all waiting inside.  We yelled "SURPRISE"!!

Here are the pictures as she comes in

and figures out what is happening. 

  I love these precious pictures.

Ella was so surprised and so sweet.

 So happy to see her friends!!!

Happy....surprised....confused....elated!!!

 

Everyone got to make their own bear.

Rubbing noses, making wishes, and loving their new friends.

Ella LOVES bears!!!

  Ella named her bear, "Beary."

Ella has 8 hearts in her bear. Each person made a wish,

and put a heart in their own bear and one in Ella's bear.

Ella LOVES all of the hearts and feels lots of love.

This was Lucy's first time to Build-A-Bear.

Her new favorite place. The day after Ella's party,

I asked Lucy when she woke up what she had dreamed about.
Lucy said, "Teddy Bears."

Afterwards, we came back to our house for pizza,

cake, ice cream and presents.

Ella wanted everything to be purple, minus the bears.

I LOVED Ella's Teddy Bear Cake!!

Sister Gandy from our old Barton Creek Ward

made the cake for us.  She did such a cute job!

Ella is a lucky girl to have such wonderful

sisters and friends. Happy Birthday Ella!!
We love our purple princess!!
