Happy #6 Ellie!

The cake blowing ceremony!

Afton's antics - she just loved Ellie's new birthday shirt and had to model it for us...stepping in at the neck hole and working it the rest of the way up. She loved Ellie's kitty card.  Cake and ice cream should be enjoyed like this, shouldn't they? 

Opening the presents!   The wagon had to be hunted for...what fun!

 Ellie will be turning 6 next week, but the chance to have both sets of grand parents plus a great grandma in attendance made it OK to celebrate just a little early.  What a cute 6 year old she is.  It was so nice that we could all come together to celebrate with her...and enjoy her favorite dinner of home made chicken nuggets, fries and salad along with yet another creative cake ordered by Ellie and created by mom and dad.  It was a fun evening.  Afton added some comedy with her funny antics.  Just wish Ellie was an in-town grand daughter so we could enjoy her a bit more often.  Life is too busy and she is growing up fast.  We love you Ellie.  Happy #6!
