After we got everybody ready we headed to the Zoo. It was such a nice day and Ella had said she wanted to go. They had it decorated for Christmas already. This is the 3rd Year in a row we have had a zoo pass and the first time I have been during Christmas (it helps we are in town during the holidays!). It was fun to see it all!
I forgot the part about it being a Saturday and they had a huge Super Hero thing going on. We wondered why the Zoo seemed empty for a Saturday until we walked up front to leave and saw the masses of people!
We had a nice picnic lunch inside the Grizzly lodge, we went to the store before and Ella picked out a lunchable, not the healthiest but she did choose the ham sandwich with sugar free jello.
We headed home to give Easton a nap and decided Ella could skip hers for the day! She watched a show and then went to the grocery store with me!
She fell asleep on our way to dinner I guess she was tired :)
After we got home from the store we rested a while and then went to dinner. I asked her if she wanted Chick fil A or Wendy's and she chose Chick Fil A (she may or may not have been swayed :)) We enjoyed our dinner and then let the kids play. I never let them play so they were excited until we went in and they were terrified at first to go up in the tube. They had fun playing!
Dad had to go up the slide to get Easton to come down the first time, after that he had no problem!
We then went home and Skyped with my brother and his family and then with my family. My mom wanted to watch Ella blow out her candles and so there were about 5 or 6 people on the other end 1500 miles away singing to her, it was awesome I am glad she got a little family on her birthday!
She kept seeing the cakes at the grocery store and would say which one should wanted on a weekly basis for the last three months. So a store bought cake it was, and it was awesome! When I went earlier in the week to order it the one she wanted was $60!!! NO WAY will I pay that so we found a much cheaper one and added Ariel! Ella was in heaven over it! She loved it and the look on her face was worth every penny!
And then she remembered she had a little brother when he got up on a chair, said Vroom, Vroom and down the table his car went right into the cake! Such a brother thing to do!
We then went and finally opened presents! She waited so patiently all day and was excited to open them! We gave Easton one to open that my mom had sent and suggested we do so he wouldn't get upset and it worked perfectly! He was in heaven and distracted the rest of the time!
Puzzles! She loves this! Thanks!
More puzzles! She can do these 48 piece puzzles by herself, I went and bought more for Christmas, Thank you dollar store! She amazes me!
This gift was bought with a 1500 mile car ride in our near (3 Weeks!!!) future!
She was excited to get to the big present and when she saw what it was her face lit up! She was so excited! She has been in heaven and already put in her order with Santa for the rest of the princesses! When you put the princess on the thing it talks and says it's name or it sings its song, it is amazing what toys do these days!
It turned out to be a perfect day and we certainly love our little girl! She seems so grown up and we love watching her learn and grow!
