Miller Time: Ellison's "Foz" Party!

As I've probably mentioned before, Ellison absolutely LOVES the Wizard of Oz. So it was an obvious choice for her 2nd birthday party's theme! Definitely not as easy to find party supplies for as our Sesame Street party last year, but I think it turned out pretty cool! And Ellison said she liked it, which is really all that matters!

We went with a rainbow theme (E loves to sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow") as far as the plates, napkins, etc. We were even able to reuse some stuff we had left from last year's party!

I never manage to get pictures of the whole food spread...all the counters were covered with stuff!

Ellison's special birthday outfit was made by the fabulous Meg, who also made her Elmo shirt and tutu last year. She did an awesome job and Ellison loved wearing her tutu! Of course, we also had to get her some ruby slippers to complete her look.

I didn't spend quite as many hours at the Cricut making decorations this year, and Ellison's favorites were actually made by my wonderful coworker Patti. They are now hanging on her closet door and I'm guessing she will want to keep them there for quite some time!

I did make a few things, though!

Balloons were once again provided by Gramma Janis and Papa Ron's "balloon people". Ellison wasn't scared of any of the balloons this year...and I want to keep the hot air balloon forever!

The cake was the biggest hit of the party, and no one could believe a high school girl made it! My coworker's very talented daughter Jenna was definitely a good find...delicious cake and the perfect design! I basically said, Wizard of Oz themed 2nd birthday, and she did the rest. Not sure we will be able to go back to store bought cakes after this!!! I didn't even want to eat it, it was so awesome!

Ells got lots of fun presents, and had a great time playing with her cousins and her buddies Leilani and Janai from daycare. We were so blessed to have so many people who care about our little princess share the day with us!
