Ellie’s Moana-themed birthday party was as magical as the heart of Te Fiti.
We Know The Way. . . to a Moana Party
Full disclosure: I did not take (most of) the photos in this blog. That credit goes to the truly incredible Laura K. Allen Photography. There’s just something about my only baby turning two that felt like an even bigger milestone than one. . . is that just me? Like, she finally had an actual personality! (Ellie, not Laura. Laura always has personality.) So I wanted to live in the moment and have my beautiful friend capture it all.

Oh, and then: a fire truck showed up! I mean, we knew the party was hot but this wasn’t planned. Our neighborhood cul-de-sac turned into a water park thanks to the local firefighters and I’m pretty sure Ellie had the time of her two-year-old life. Not sure how we’ll top that this year but we’ll try!
