Birthday Parties

This year, Elli's birthday fell on the exact day that we were moving into our house.  We planned ahead and had two separate birthday parties for her since we couldn't fit both sides of our family into our apartment.

The first party was at Nana and Papa Lindvall's house!  We stayed the night at their house and had a breakfast lunch for Elli on Saturday with her favorite foods.  They also got her an ice cream cake and the kids got to decorate her big cookie!

The second party was on the kids' day off of school!  We went to build-a-bear and let the kids make a stuffed animal!  We also had pizza, ice cream and presents after gymnastics that evening!

Elli requested Max and 'Erva's' (Erma's) for dinner on her birthday.  We had every intention of fulfilling  that request, but things got a little overwhelming and stressful the day we moved into the house!  We randomly bring up the fact that we still need to go there for dinner and soon we will!
