Ellie's 4th Birthday!

Dear Kate,

Ellie Bean celebrated her 4th birthday last weekend and what a fun party it was!  We helped her celebrate at Shipwreck Playhouse.  That place is AWESOME!  It was our first time there and it was perfect for a birthday party!  First off, it was just you and your friends, no sharing of a place.  AND,  it was the whole place, just for you and your friends, so no switching rooms or having a specific time to leave to eat cupcakes.  You can play, then eat, then play again, which is what parents prefer in order to burn off that sugar.  Awesome I tell you.  Not to mention the playhouse was pretty darn cool and had all kinds of different toys.  Oh, and it had a 'baby' section, for those little kiddos.  Not you, of course, you preferred the big kid section.  Oh, did I mention it has a place for parents to sit, as well as an outside area where you can watch through a glass.  Okay, so yeah, I'm sold on this place!!!

Anyway, you were too!!!  

 You found a baby doll and that was all you needed!

 Well, that and then eating cupcakes after singing to the birthday girl!!! (and yes, they even had little tables and chairs AND high chairs - for those little kids :)!)

  Kipper enjoyed his as well!

 Then back to playing!

 

 It was such a fun birthday party.  Afterwards, we headed to Ellie's house to have pizza and even more cupcakes.  You ventured off to bed after a little dancing on Ellie's new stage, but all in good time.  A fun day!
And the next morning we went out for a little stroll, that is you and your toothbrushes.  Still holding on tight to those...

Love You!
