Elly is 3!!!

Elly turned three last month and she is all grown up now. Her favorite thing to say is "I can have three treats, because I'm three."
 

She sat still while I did some "Special Birthday Hair" for her, just on that day:
 

Doesn't she look all grown up?
 


We had a really fun Birthday Ball for her at our apartment with some of her friends.





She's still young enough that I don't have to plan her birthday parties in detail. I just invite some of her friends and their parents (our friends) over and we all eat dinner together and then eat some cake. This time, one of her friends (who is a little older than Elly) kept asking me when the games were going to start. Whoops. We improvised with some Duck, Duck, Goose and some freeze dancing. I guess I'm going to have to actually plan something next year!



When we brought the cake out and everyone started singing, it took her a second to figure out what was going on. Then, she realized that everyone was looking at her and singing to her! So...naturally, she decided to give us a little show for our trouble.



It was an amazing birthday party for her and I couldn't have done it without the help of my mom, who came down from Salt Lake that day when I called her in a panic. Thanks, K-ma!
