5 on Friday

1. My sister turned 30 on Saturday and my niece turned 1 on Sunday! We celebrated with them at a joint birthday party on Saturday in Ames.   Seems like just yesterday I was in the delivery room waiting for the baby to make her appearance. 

2. Ellie is really into themes of birthday parties. My sister and niece's party had a "pink zebra" theme. Ellie had it all worked out a few days ahead of time, she was going to wear pink underwear and a pink shirt (no worries- she wore pants as well)--- the girl plans for the occasion. Then she found her clip on earrings and wanted to wear those. But they were flowers. So she wanted to know if it was a "pink zebra flower bush" party. We messaged my sister to ask. Sure enough--- it was!  Ellie was on top of the world.

3.  It was Ellie's turn to bring treats to Faith Formation on Sunday.   She has been waiting all school year for this.  She was very excited and picked out applesauce and raisins.  I said no to the juice boxes and told her they could just drink water.   She was actually OK with that- that's my girl!

4. Sunday night we celebrated with a family movie night.  Popcorn, M&M's and Madagascar.   Perfect.

5. Ellie's dance class costumes came in!   The girls are going to look so cute!
