As you know, in the Foelsche-McDonald family, we celebrate birth-weeks, not just birth-days. The subsequent celebrations can span weeks, or at least multiple days and cupcakes. Ellie's birth-week got off to a nice start with a celebration at Ba and Opa's on Memorial Day. The girls were amazed with Opa's decorating skills and wanted to take all the balloons home.
Ellie hamming it up and showing appreciation for her new hat like only she knows how.
Mastering the "coy" look...
Blowing out her candles in her ice cream cake...
... and especially enjoying the blue frosting.
On her birthday, Mommy took off work that day to take Ellie on several adventures, including the trampoline park, McDonald's, and to see Home in the theatre (we had the whole theatre to ourselves!) It was a delightful day before everyone joined us for a special spaghetti dinner and another round of gifts from the family. Ellie was especially delighted with the Lily Bobtail bunny given to her by her sister - now Peter will have a close friend!
She also loved the Izzy the Ice Cream Fairy book Evie had picked out...
...and actually wanted to stop opening gifts to start reading her presents. That's our Ellie!
Her final gift was a pony dubbed Maximus, of course, and Pascal, another buddy to join the sleeping friends.
Then it was time to blow out her candles and make a wish! What a birth-week this was, and it's not even quite over yet!
