Last weekend we celebrated Ellie's 3rd birthday!! It was actually on Sunday, but we started a little early. That afternoon we went swimming at the rec center, Ellie loves it there. Now that she is 3 she went down the slides ALL by herself and has learned how to watch the bucket so she doesn't get dumped with all the water. We also stopped at her favorite McDonalds for a happy meal lunch(thanks Great Grandma Sims).
After naps and mom running a few last minute errands we got out the presents. Ellie has been pretty excited about her party ever since Cooper's birthday last month. She got to pick the order of her present and she got some great stuff!! Cooper gave her a Thomas the Train track with some Trains, Mom gave her some Strawberry Cake stuff (her Aunt Shawna should be proud!!) and Dad surprised everyone with a Red Flyer Scooter and Snow White helmet and knee pads. She loved playing with all her toys and couldn't stick with one for very long.
Since Ellie isn't really a cake, brownie, or anything sweet kind of gal we made some of Uncle Stephens white chocolate popcorn for her birthday treat. Ellie helped stir the popcorn and sprinkle on the sprinkles. However, she did more eating than helping me put it in the bowls. Then we settled down to watch The Land Before Time!! She is really into dinosaurs since her trip to Aunt Tami's. Brady got called into work during the movie so Ellie and I enjoyed setting off some rockets with kids across the street and then she went on her first scooter ride with Abbie. As I was talking to Vanessa I noticed the girls missing, well, they had gone inside to get the party hats to wear on their adventure.
