Ella's grown up dinner party

Last week, Ella decided to wanted to throw a "grown up" dinner party....she had heard me planning for a dinner party we were having with our friends. She wanted to do everything like the grown ups.

She started by setting a fancy dinner table....she had me help her find the "perfect last touch" (exactly her words)...the flower in the middle. It was funny to see all the details she put into it. I thought the table was a pretty clever idea...her baby doll crib flipped over.



These are all her guests...including me. We are drinking wine and having  "good conversations without the kids"...again her words exactly...I felt a little guilty about that one. We discussed funny things our kids were doing, the latest movies, our crazy husbands, oh and, the Chilean miners that had been rescued the day before (they had talked about it at school). Very grown up!



Then it was time for the dinner. We had a yummy soup she had been "making all day".

What a good hostess, Ella!! It was a great party!
