Party Time!

On November 8, Ellison had a little birthday party at the Greensboro Children's Museum. We enjoyed watching all of the little ones burn off LOTS of energy. All of Ellison's little friends came with their parents (who, thankfully, are our friends, too!) - we were so happy to have them all join us. After chowing down some doughnuts (complete with sprinkles - E's normal fave even though she opted for the glazed Krispy Kreme) instead of cake, it was mass playtime, followed by mass exhaustion for the parents. Well, I shouldn't speak for everyone, I suppose...

By the way, the captions totally don't match the photos.  I have tried SEVERAL times to fix them, but as you can see, I have been unsuccessful.

These first 3 photos are courtesy of Alisha - can't you tell how great they are compared to my lack of photography talent?! Thanks, Alisha!!!

Mookie again didn't want to blow out her candles, and wanted Mommy to do it.

We got home and Ellison was in dire need of a nap (okay, so her mom was), so we opened only one present before bed. Which turned out to be a good thing - Ellison loved each and every gift she received, and once she'd open one she wouldn't care to move on to more - she just wanted to play with whatever she just got. We didn't post all of the gift-opening photos, but here are some action shots that came out the best. Thank you to all of Elli's little friends!

OMG - her fake smile made me laugh out loud when I came across this!
