Happy Birthday, Ellie!!

Today we celebrated Ellie's school birthday! Greg, Danica and baby Louisa came to celebrate with us.  

They showed a slideshow all about Ellie's three years of life... We saw pictures from when she was just a tiny, happy baby, all the way up to now.  There were pictures of Mimi and Papa Joe in Florida, as well as Grammy Lowman and Pop pop.  We saw happy memories of being at the beach, swimming in the pool, playing in the sand, going to Disney, and playing with Sugar the doggie in Nova Scotia.  We learned that Ellie loves playing soccer, going down the slide at the playground, riding trains, building snowmen, and being a big sister.  We saw pictures from her past Halloweens, dressed as a ladybug, a duck, and a cat.  We found out that Ellie's great granddad is still playing trombone at 90 years old! Maybe that's why Ellie loves music so much!

Greg read us Ellie's favorite book, Flora and the Flamingo.  

Afterwards, Ellie walked around the candle three times with Olivia's company, then blew out the candle

Ellie's birthday committee was Olivia, Alexandra, and Grace.  They made her a gift filled with pink and purple sparkles and feathers, plus some dragonflies.

Many thanks to Ellie's family for our yummy birthday special snack - mini chocolate chip muffins.  Happy birthday, Ellie!
