Ellie is 4!

Ellie is 4.

Seriously I don't understand how it could have possibly been 4 years already.

Ellie is so much fun.  She is really good and dealing with change, and adapting to new situations.  In her short life she has moved across the country twice, lived in 3 states (soon to be 4), lost a brother, is getting ready to welcome a sister, and spent countless hours in the car driving.

She loves playing, being outside, looking through books, Curious George, and going to primary.

For her birthday we had breakfast and opened presents before Andy had to leave for work.

We met a friend at McDonalds, and they played and had a great time.

When Andy got off work we went to Salt Lake City Burger, and then mini golfing.  This was Ellie's first experience with mini golf and she basically just played however she wanted.  Then we went to Baskin Robin for a scoop of birthday ice-cream.

The next day after her checkup (and shots) we went to the Museum of Ancient Life.  We have a few free passes to Thanksgiving point, and so were trying to hit up the parts we haven't been to before.

We had her second witch birthday party the next day.  This was her first party with friends, and it was lot of fun.  It seemed a shame to partially decorate for halloween and then have to take it down, but its too soon, and so it came down.  We had pizza, watermelon, veggies, chips, lemonade, and cupcakes.  As usual I was not the best at taking pictures during the event.

We sure love Ellie and we are so grateful that we get to be her mom and dad.
