We decided to do a joint birthday party for Ella and Griffin this year (get away with it while we can type of thing)! Honestly they have a lot of the same sibling friends and are so close in age that it worked out perfectly! The party was at Westwood Gymnastics, their favorite place ever, on February 23rd (yes, I'm still behind). Griffin is really into superheroes right now and Ella is basically into anything Griffin is into. :) I wanted to make sure it was still appropriate for boys and girls so we had plenty of pink and purple, red and blue in the decor. I made superhero capes for party favors (seemed like a good idea until we had 35 kids coming and only 2 who couldn't). But, the kids LOVED them and they looked really cute during the party. Several moms have told me their kids play with them all the time so I guess it was worth all the cutting and gluing! My mom and I made the cupcakes and special little cakes for Griff and Ella, and I thought they turned out super cute. The kids had a great time playing, running, tumbling, swinging, ect and eating pizza and cupcakes. The party was a huge success and we are done for another year! :) After it was over both sides of our families came over for a pinata and to open presents. The kids played till 9:30 and no one had a problem going to bed that night!! WARNING...get ready for picture overload!
These were the superhero capes, hearts for girls and stars for boys

Not much cuter than a leotard, tutu, chubby thighs, and leg warmers!
The whole crazy crew!
Time for pizza
Singing "Happy Birthday"
Think she liked her cake? Actually this is Griffin's, she moved on to his after she demolished hers.
She had us rolling with laughter!
The "after party" and Ella's pink my little pony choo choo was a huge hit with all the cousins
