It is so crazy that Ella is already 8 years old! It’s so hard to even think of her as a baby anymore.

Her actual birthday was Thursday, but her party was Sunday at Castle Skateland. She was really excited to show off her skating skills and play arcade games with all of her friends.

It was a really great party and I think that everyone had a really fun time. I know my bunch did!

Invitations

Desserts

I really wanted to match the desserts to the invitations and keep the color scheme going.

Ella’s birthday cake was from 3 Sweet Girls Bakery in Silverton. It was birthday cake flavored with butter-cream frosting. It really was such a beautiful cake and turned out even better than I had imagined.

Ella’s cookies were created by Hyde Park Baker who was just so sweet. The cookies absolutely exceeded my expectations. They were SO cute!

Party

I wish I would have gotten more photos, especially of the kids all skating and playing the arcade games, but I was so busy with the party and also skating myself with my husband and kids which was just a blast.

I couldn’t be more thrilled that Ella is so interested in roller skating and I had so much fun planning this party for her. It was also the perfect way to get pumped for her upcoming Winter Roller Derby season!

Well, it’s been a long day and this mama is pooped! So I’m going to go enjoy the rest of my own birthday with my family, with my heart so full ❤
