ella's "wheelie" fun bike birthday

for ella's birthday back in august, she had the idea of having a bike birthday party.

such a fun idea from the girl who learned how to ride her
two-wheeler earlier this summer and rides any chance she can!

so we invited everyone to bring their bike or scooter for a fun afternoon of...
bike washing...
handlebar sign making...
tassel hanging (ella & loved making all these colorful tassels)...
crazy helmet decorating...
noise-making bike spoke beading...
pizza wheel eating...

and of course lots and lots of bike riding!

 they put on quite the bike show for our new neighbors...
or i should say "we" put on quite the show for the neighbors!
a bunch of cute kids on decorated bikes
followed (aka chased) by a bunch of moms on foot trying to keep up!

thankfully, wes (and laura) hopped on a bike to keep up with the gang.
a "wheelie" fun birthday for our "wheelie" special 7-year old!
