Ellie's watercolor birthday party

Ellie's sixths birthday party was perfectly Ellie and so much fun for our favorite little six year old. She wanted a watercolor birthday party with lots of gold this year. Then she also decided she wanted dogs at her party so we managed to fit those in as well. She invited a few of her best friends from her kindergarten class and we also had uncle Mikey's family and the Sanders over as well.

Ellie was pretty excited to use fingers from both hands to make her age. I love that since she lost her second front tooth three days before her birthday her tongue seems to find its way into all her pictures now.

Six gold candles all in a row.

We bought little blank white plush dogs for the kids to paint with their watercolors. They all turned out so adorable. Ellie is so proud of hers and all the gold glitter she added to it.
