Elly turned 2 on January 2nd. She was very excited when she woke-up sunday morning to find balloons and a big bike. She ofcourse hasn't figured out how to ride it but by this summer she should be ready to learn. She loves it anyway and can talk her brothers into pushing her around on it right now. She loved the balloons so it was a good thing her dad remembered to get them for her.
After church we took the kids out so Elly could have a picture the spot where she was born. She was very excited when we pulled up and there were two balloons already there for her. Jay had gone out that morning and put them there. He also had one tied to the car.
The boys wanted to know if Jay was going to put balloons out there every year for her birthday or not. When we told them we were they asked if we were going to when she turned 100. I told them we wouldn't be around by then but if they were then they should do it for her. The balloons lasted out there for atleast a week which really surprised me, they might still be out there.
Grandpa and Grandma brought Elly over her present when we got back. She was very excited to tell them about her bike.
That night we took birthday cake and ice cream to Great Grandma and Grandpa's house and had it with the cousins that came there that night.
She wasn't shy like one of the boys was she got right in there and blew out her candles. She didn't like it when the kids tried to help her.
We let her blow them out a couple of times, what kid doesn't like to do that a few times.
Our beautiful little birthday girl in the dress that she got for her birthday. She has been so much fun to have in our family. She is talking like crazy and she is always on the go. She loves to play with her brothers when they are being nice. She is the best at going to bed whenever I put her down. She is just a happy, funny girl. Sometimes I can't believe she is only two because she acts older then that. She does have attitude when she wants to but for the most part she has been a great baby and little girl. We love her so much and are very glad that she is ours.
Happy Birthday Elly! We love you.
