Yesterday was Ellasen's 3rd birthday, and we celebrated in a few different ways. On Saturday she got a birthday surprise from Mommy and Daddy. While Ellasen and I were at a craft show Daddy was busy putting together a big girl bed for her! She was so excited and has been sleeping in it great! Then she had a fabulous birthday party on Sunday. She shared her birthday party with her friend Kylie for the second year in a row. They were born just two days (and one year) apart and we have all the same friends so while the girls are young we decided to have joint parties. We call Ellasen "bug" and Kylie's mom and dad call her "bean" so we had a "Bugs and Beans" theme to the party. We used bug decorations and jelly beans to make the party special. Emily (Kylie's Mom) made the super cute shirts for the girls. Ellasen's had a bug on it, and Kylie's had jelly beans on it. I made the tutus to match! On Ellasen's real birthday on Wednesday we went with some friends to one of her favorite places: Bounce World. It is a warehouse full of those jumping bounce houses and slides. She had a great time with her friends and she even got to eat lunch there! After Bounce World and a nap we went outside to fly her kite. She got a super cute lady bug kite for her birthday and it was beautiful yesterday so we stayed outside for almost two hours flying the kite. After dinner we Skyped with family, opened presents and had cake. I think she had a great birthday, and we are so thankful for the friends and family that helped us celebrate! Ellasen was showered with gifts and love! We are so proud of our big girl!
