Busy Mommy: Ella's 4th Birthday

We celebrated Ella's 4th birthday on the 3rd of Jan! What a CR-a-ZY week it was! They got their hearing aides in that Monday, Dec 31st, and then George and Tawne came out to visit us on the 1st! It was a great week, but very tiring! Just all new things with Keegan and Ella... But it was good! :)

I didn't go all out on Ellas cake, or birthday, b/c I was beat! But we did have cake and presents! Since she can't tell me what her favorite meal is, I cooked the pork potstickers, egg flower soup and then we had cake. I TOTALLY forgot to get the rice going before it was too late, so that's why no rice! :) Egg flower soup is so easy and everyone really likes it! :) Can't believe HOW MUCH soy sauce we have gone through in the last 3 months!!! Lets say it's been atleast 2 bottles if not 3!!! ;) It's really good on rice... ;) and I've cooked ALOT of rice... Uh, a friend bought us the 25 pound bag of rice (I paid them back... ;)) from BJ's, and that is gone... I had it for 2 1/2 months... ;) What can I say? It's a great filler and cheap and yummy! :)

Ok, back to her birthday! I really didn't know what to expect from her. I didn't know how much she would get, although we've gone through a birthday with Keegan, so she knew. And boy did she HAM IT UP!!! I think she understood! :)

I made her a chocolate Hello Kitty cake and George did the outline of her face, and then we both got it "colored" in and decorated. So had supper, cake, and then presents! :)

Never had a birthday SOOOO close to Christmas before! Went into Target and Kotah said oh mom, we could get this! I said, what? We aren't getting that? We just had Christmas! She said, mom, Ella. Me, lightbulb moment... ;)

A few pics of her birthday... ;)
