How to Be a Pirate Play

Before the play began, I made a pirate hat.

 Afterward, they had a "Santa Helper" there.

 Walking to the car with Daddy.

Festival of Trees

On EllieLynn's actual birthday, it was the same day as the Festival of Trees Community Open House.

Here I am making the food for Santa's Reindeer to sprinkle on the front yard on Christmas Eve.

Now I am beading a Christmas bracelet.

 Then we walked around to look at the trees.

 Sister was getting grumpy because it was past her bedtime, and if Sister is grumpy then Daddy gets grumpy.

 Maybe a kiss will help.

 Maybe I'll just cover his grumpy mug, and then she'll cheer up.

:) Needless to say we went home soon after.

My Hello Kitty Party

Since I knew all the grown-ups in my life would not want to go to Jungle Playland, I invited them over for dinner on my actual birthday.  Here I am opening presents.

 All the ladies got Hello Kitty headbands.  :)

 Look I got a scooter.

 We made peppermint ice cream mice to eat (since we are Hello Kitty's).

 Grandpa Jerry and Cheri came late, but that was okay because I put him to work on my new legos.  :)

 Here is what the invitations looked like (there are 2 of them).

I'm bummed Daddy didn't get pictures of more of my guests.  :(
I love them all so much!

My Fifth Birthday

This is the day of my actual birthday.  Since it was a Wednesday, I was at John and Margie's.  Here I am wearing my shirt from my jungle party.

 Here are the birthday cookies that I had made for all of my friends.

 Here is sister in her shirt.  It says, "EllieLynn Little Sis".

The day was off to a good start.
