This year, Ella requested a Madeline themed birthday party. She adores that cartoon (as do I) and of course the francophil in me was thrilled to throw a little Parisian soiree.
 |
| (Front door sign) In an Old House in Suwanee, that had a yellow door, lived a little girl, who was turning FOUR! |
 |
| Playing pin the hat on Madeline. Andrew made this for us. Isn't he fabulous? |
 |
| We read the book "Madeline's Rescue" and then played the game "find Genevive". The person who found the play dog in our house got to keep the book. The children loved this. |
|
 |
| Fleur de Lis and Eiffel Tower Cheese (made with $1 cookie cutters I found online on Amazon) |
 |
| The cupcakes themselves were something I made from a box, but the Madeline cupcake toppers were found on etsy. The seller no longer sells on etsy, but has her own website here. |
 |
| jambon croissants |

| My sweet love on her 4th birthday! |
 |
| I gave birth to this beauty! |
 |
| My how things change in 4 short years! |
Every birthday, we release balloons up to Heaven to tell God thank you for the years He has given us with our children. Each balloon represents one year (so, Ella got to release four this year). This is a very special moment between me and God because I continue to recognize that she is really only on loan to me. She belongs to God and has entrusted her life in our hands here on Earth.
She is my daily reminder that there still is good in this world.
