Ella's party

Lilly was invited to a holiday party yesterday afternoon from 2-4.  I was thrilled when we opened up the envelope and it was an invite for just Lilly.  She's been left behind a few times lately with all the Girl Scout events that Sophia has been going to and it was finally Lilly's turn to enjoy an outing with mom!  (Sophia also enjoyed a walk to the park with Will - lucky girl!)

Ella, a little girl from her class, invited all the girls in the class, but only 3 were able to join in the fun, Lia and Olivia (both were in her class last year too).  Lilly had a really fun time.  It didn't take her long to warm up to the group and then she was off and running and I had to basically beg her to leave.  Ella has an older sister in first grade at a different school than ours, but Ella's mom suggested that we might have a playdate.  We'll see.  We're so busy and so are they with gymnastics/dance/and other activities...

I was one of the moms that stayed and was able to help with a few of the crafts.  Each little girl placed her white handprint on a blue ornament as a keepsake.  I love it and Lilly immediately placed on her Christmas tree when we got home.  The girls also made foam door hangers, foam snowmen ornaments and bags of reindeer food.  

Bonus:  I really liked all the other moms too....so it was fun for both of us.
