We celebrated Ella's 5th birthday this past weekend (a few weeks late to line it up with recital weekend). This year's theme: Doc McStuffins from Disney Junior. She will make a great doctor someday. :)
A few pictures from the day!
The Invitation (from Etsy - LOVE!)
This year was a bit hectic in trying to party plan due to the recent move, but I think it was still a lot of fun even if I didn't have all of the things I was hoping to have for her party.
As each party guest arrived, they were checked in as a patient with a boo-boo. HA! I filled out a patient wristband for each person to wear. Later in the party, Doc Ella handled the patient check-ups. She had a good time with that, and it was a fun way to engage everyone in the theme of the party!

Papa Paul's check-up for sore knee otosis
Checking his temperature too!
I also made Ella her very own Big Book of Boo-Boos, which is a very important aspect of the show Doc McStuffins! I had each party guest include a special note to Ella in the Big Book of Boo-Boos, including a drawing of their boo-boo. Everyone had fun with that project!
An example of one of the notes in her book of boo-boos!
Party food: We served a BBQ lunch and then using some fun ideas I found on Pinterest,
the dessert table included a few fun doctor-themed signs.
Ella picked out the BIG Doc McStuffins balloon as part of the decorations for the party.
It's big, but perfect!
Happy Birthday to you....(notice: we couldn't find a candle - boo!)
I don't think she even noticed though, so that's good!
I wasn't sure how to incorporate something (a piece of clothing, hat, prop, etc.) for the annual birthday pictures with all the guests, so we just took the pictures without any props this year!...Except Ella scored a new Doc McStuffins ball as a gift, so she insisted that it be included in the pictures....
We partied hard!
We had dance parties (including a tiara and princess wand for the birthday girl!)
Busy day with no nap meant that when Ella and I left to head to the dance recital (while eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the car), it didn't take long before Doc Ella was OUT! HA!
It was a fun day!
