Ellie's 6th Birthday

Ellie's newest dress from Grandma Iler. She lloovveess it!
She wore it for show and tell! And it's purple...Grandma knows
her so well!
Ellie chose a Care Bear cake this year. We didn't get a really
good shot of it....OOPS! This was Ellie's favorite toy....a guinnea pig (which looks just like Guinners) and it purrs, open/closes it eyes, and makes guinnea pig sounds when you pet it's back. Even sleeps! Ellie takes it everywhere. Opening presents. A lot of her friends made her cards and they were so nice! A few added pics of them with Ellie and those are just so special! Ellie and Shayla (hugger) and Kysa. Shayla and Ellie have been best friends since preschool. Their mom and I are good friends from hs so that is nice for me, too! Camers speaks for all of us at the end of the party! We sat down for just a few minutes after everyone left and he was out! We all took a nap and slept until 6pm!!!! Wow! Quite a day....but a lot of fun. I think we ended up with 16 kids and at least one parent for each. Not complaining though! We are blessed to be surrounded by so many friends. Everyone had so much fun! Played games (none of Jim's suggestions, though...saving those for when we visit HIS house!), ate goodies, opened presents, and enjoyed friends. Just glad it didn't snow! Ellie ended up having quite the birthday week, really. She had a party in her class the Friday before her real birthday, on the 7th. Then she had her family party and a special day with her Grams on her birthday, the 9th. Then she had her birthday party on the 15th. And she received a few gift cards, so went shopping on the 16th! We were cleaning up and organizing today and taking down the streamers. Ellie asked why were doing that (with an attitude of 'why in the world would you ever want to take those down?'). Daddy had to gently tell her that her birthday, while lasting forever, had to now come to an end. Poor thing! =) She is gonna be a lot like me........let's just celebrate!!!! It's my birthday! Poor John, just when he thought the birthday week tradition was behind him!
