ellie day


yesterday was all about
ELLIE!
she turned 5.


she helped paint these little butterfly clips for her healthy birthday treat at school.
they turned out adorable.


when her classmates finally figured out how a clothespin works and took them off to eat their snack, cousin everett was smart enough to call his a caterpillar.


ellie invited ev to come play after preschool.
they made a band, which i forgot to get pictures of, but it was very cute and very loud.
then we headed to chick-fil-a for lunch!



jack got ellie a new swimsuit for this summer

look at that smile!
she loves her scrapbook from grandma janie and grandpa bart

daddy took her out for her birthday dinner.
her choice: olive garden


while they were at dinner, the boys and i made some special rice crispie treats to have after FHE.
jack gave a great lesson on the resurrection and then ellie got to blow out one last candle.
(we sang happy birthday to her 5 times over the weekend, whew!)


we love our ellie bug, even if she is a bit sassy :)

Those butterflies were almost as sweet as the birthday girl! Happy B-day Ellie Bellie! (and yes, Ev corrected each time I called the clothespin a butterfly, "Mom, it's a caterpillar"

I'm glad she had such a great day!! I may have to steal your butterfly idea next month when it's Sophie's turn. So adorable!! Sophie loved the party and has religiously worn her apron ever since. Happy birthday sweet Ellie girl!!
