Mary Ellen's birthday fell on Easter Sunday this year. We all thought that was so exciting. She, especially, did. Even though we had had a big Easter celebration earlier in the day, we managed to have a small party for her. Greg took her down to the church and distracted her while I finished the cake and decorated. When she came back home, she was thrilled to see her friends and all the Mickey Mouse decorations. She especially enjoyed opening presents.
She doesn't know it yet, but her biggest birthday surprise is coming later in the week. We are taking her to see her best buddy, Owen. He moved about an hour away and she misses him. We thought that would be the best gift for her!
I always take a picture of the girls sometime near their birthday. Here is Mary Ellen with her pics from when she was 1 and 2.
My pitiful attempt to make a "Toodles" birthday cake for her Mickey Mouse party.
This was when she first walked into the room and was surprised to see her friends and the party decorations.
Yum, yum! She loved the icing. Notice that all that is on her plate is the leftover cake.
