It has become tradition the last couple of years to fill the living room with balloons on each of the kids' birthdays. It might just be their favorite part of the day. And seriously, you get A LOT of mileage out of a couple bags of dollar store balloons....those things last forever!
We got Ellie a shopping cart and doll for her birthday
Meeting Private at Dreamworks. She spotted him clear across the parking lot and ran as fast as she could to get to him. She would have followed him around all day if she could have.
They had a circus party, with all the junk food you could ever want (or not want!), Madagascar characters, face painting, bouncy house, a balloon man, and circus performers. It was really a lot of fun. We made sure to thank them for throwing such a fun party for Ellie. :)
We stopped home briefly for a little quiet time and then headed to the park for an end-of-the-school-year/birthday celebration. I brought some cookies and we met up with several friends.
Ellie loves showing off on the slides
On Sunday, we got together with Jon's family to celebrate and eat her birthday cake (made by my friend Catherine). She really had no idea what was going on and was less than impressed with the whole thing....haha....
She daintily touched the cake and licked her fingers, but that was about it.
After cake, she was in silly mode. Ellie loves being chased, tickled, thrown in the air....basically just being silly. I love this girl!
