Ella's 13th Birthday Party!

Ella's actual friend birthday party was held on Saturday, March 4th, at Tower Lanes in Tacoma. We had wanted to have it in her actual birth month, but it didn't work out for one of her friends that she really wanted to be here. The funny thing was I thought about asking Jen if Logan could come over, but then I thought no that's too much to ask for them to come over the pass during winter just so Logan can come to Ella's party. A few days after that I got a text from Jen asking if Logan could stay that weekend with us because she had an audiology appointment. Crazy amazing timing right! It was so awesome! 

Logan ended up getting dropped off at our house on Friday night and she spent the whole weekend with us. Aidry's mom dropped her off Saturday morning and then we headed out to Tacoma. 

June is Ella's newest friend. They met at choir. June is just the sweetest girl. She loves to gives gifts. She has made Ella so many bracelets...most of the bracelets that are on Ella's wrist are from June. 

Bowling was full when we first got their so the girls did mini golf first instead. June's mom Laura was there so we hung out and got to know each other better. 

It's always hard to tell if the kids are having fun mini golfing, but they really liked it. In fact they asked if they could do another round after they were done bowling, but June wasn't able to stay that late. 

The girls got set up in lane 16 which I thought was awesome since Ella was born on the 16th! 

This was June's first time bowling...ever!  

In the middle of bowling the pizza came out. So we paused to have a bite to eat! 

Next up was the cupcakes. 

Logan wanted to sing Happy Birthday, but Ella didn't want them to make a scene so we told her we'd sing quietly. 

It didn't end up being quiet and thankfully she was a good sport about it. Sorry for my horrible loud singing voice! 

She's so adorable! 

Time for presents! 

Again I stink at pictures...she got so spoiled! She got a bracelet kit, a mini backpack and matching purse, LED lights to put in her room, Pandora earrings. I know I'm forgetting stuff. They lavished her with gifts. It was so sweet! 

After they finished up bowling they weren't quite ready to go so we headed over to the arcade. It was a bit confusing because you have to load money on a card instead of using tokens. Laura put a little bit of money on the card and the girls used it up super fast. The card also stores your tickets so no paper tickets anymore either. So bizarre! 

Sweet Logan Alice....so happy she could come hang out for Ella's Birthday Party weekend! 

 I absolutely love this picture of me and Ella. I've heard people say we look alike, but now I can really see it. Love my girly!
