eLlie's bIrtHdAy pArTy!

We always do presents and the kids sit in there own special chair.

Then we have cake and ice cream. I usually make cute cakes but for some reason Ellie always gets the short end of the stick. This year I didn't even finish it until after everyone came. Seriously! Last year Ellie was crying because all the attention was to much. This year she led the singing and sang herself. When it came time to blow out candles she actually tried. It was so cute to watch her.

Mama and Papa got her the Fancy Nancy doll. It was the one that she carried all over Target and cried when I made her put it back. They also got her a purse. Yeah, I don't think she put it down the rest of the night.

All that cake and ice cream made Grandpa want to sit and take it easy.

Grandma, Grandpa, and DeDe (the kids loved having the dog. She was a hit.) got Ellie some cute clothes and a fairy barbie. I am so glad that they got the Barbie because I forgot to get her one. She loves Barbies.

Our "Cousin Friends" the Johns family got her a darling sweatshirt. I was hoping that they would.

Uncle Smitty and Aunt Ashlee burning the midnight oil. That is why Ellie is asleep in the picture. The best part though is when I was done taking the picture Smitty went to set her down like she was going to stand up. "Aaaahhh, stop" Ashlee and I both shouted. Silly Smitty! They got her Cinderella Barbie that Ellie likes so much. I think Emma will be happy because now maybe Ellie won't play with hers

Of course we forgot to take pictures of us. We got her squeaky shoes, clothes, and a My Generation Doll. She loves Emma's American girl doll so we thought maybe she might like this. She LOVES her!

Aunt Maren and Uncle Ryan couldn't be there so they sent her present. She got a really cute shirt. Ellie just wants to say thanks to everyone!

Happy Birthday Ellie
