Take Five

We celebrated Ellie's birthday with family on her actual birthday. Dan pumped up Ellie's new pool all night long, just so she could swim in it the moment she woke up in the morning. She loved it, and stayed in her swimsuit all day long. Well, until it was time for the family party.



Dan told her she could wear whatever she wanted. She chose this:

Her cake looked like this (don't be jealous over my cake making skills):


Her favorite present was a pillow pet. Ellie is a walking infomercial, and now everyone on our street has a pillow pet. You're welcome neighbors. :)

Happy Birthday Miss Ellie!!!

I'm sure she will remember this birthday forever. How sweet that she got to wear what she wanted and had a bug cake. Can't get any better.

Happy birthday! My kids are begging for a pillow pet! Maybe it's a good thing I don't live in your neighborhood! :)

thank goodness grandma sprung for the pillow pets. at least i don't have to her whining how ellie has one and she doesn't. oh the joys of 5 year olds!!!

ps. we're in midway (again) beau's family is in town and obviously not enough room at our house for them. do you think you could aim your hose over my fence and water my new plants that will probably die before i get home...I meant to give you a key before we left but i forgot.
