Ellie's Birthday . . . Finally

Almost 2 months late isn't too bad right?
On January 22 Ellie turned 5.

This is the morning of her birthday. She had just finished her requested Micky Mouse pancakes and had moved onto presents. She got to open her new birthday outfit and some new fashion Polly Pockets



About 10 days before her birthday we had a birthday day with her friend Alexis. We had to do it early because Lexi was moving back to Reno and that is the one friend Ellie wanted to celebrate with. We started off the day at Kangaroo Zoo.


The girls had so much fun.



Typically Ellie, hamming it up for the camera.




After Kangaroo Zoo we went to lunch at Chili's, the movie Bolt, to Target for friendship necklaces, and then back home to play because they hadn't had enough yet. Those two get along great and 10 am to 8 pm was not enough time.



On Ellie's actual birthday I let Ellie pick anywhere she wanted to go for lunch. She picked Subway! I talked her into switching to Sensuous Sandwich, which I think is better but afterwards Ellie did not agree. Aunt Lindsay came with us to help celebrate.



That night the Hill's threw Ellie a Disney Princesses 5th birthday party.

Success!!



Now time for the cake.
Ellie had a wonderful birthday. Thanks to everyone for helping us celebrate our wonderful 5 year old. She is truly one of a kind.
