Ella's Turning What? Blog Hop! Big Giveaway!



We’re hosting this blog hop because Ms. Ella Jade is having a birthday! Happy Birthday Ella! So please make sure to wish her lots of happy birthday wishes when you comment below.

Since it’s all about birthdays, I thought I’d recount one of my all-time favorite birthday memories. My sister was in 2nd grade and 7 years old, she decided to throw me a “surprise” birthday party, and she did a pretty good job. With my mom’s help she managed to talk to each of my friend’s secretly, she just forgot to tell them it was a “surprise” party so they all asked me about it. So I talked to my mom and she said it was supposed to be a surprise, so even though I knew it was coming, I let myself be taken away and distracted while her little 7 year old decorated our grandmother’s house. I acted super surprised when I arrived and to this day, it’s one of my favorite memories with my sister and related to my birthday.

So what’s your favorite birthday memory? Have you ever had a surprise birthday party?

  5. What a sweet memory. I loved a few years ago the girls I worked with had a 21st birthday party for me, even though I was 45. They knew I hadn't had one of those wild parties when I turned 21 and it was a night to remember.

  34. Happy birthday Ella!! My fave b-day memory was surprise weekend road trip to St. Augustine, for a long weekend at a great B&B. I had a boyfriend that threw me a surprise party every year for the 4 years we were together -- and he managed to really surprise me every time!

    Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

  35. Happy Birthday to Ella!!

    My family isn't big on birthday so I was surprised one year when my sister surprised me with a cake and had the family come together to sing me Happy Birthday.

    As to a party, I've never had one thrown for me. I've only had small close family gatherings.
