A Day in the Life of a Birthday Girl

When it came to the day of Ella Kate's real birthday, she had very specific ideas as to what we should do. 

1) go to church

2) eat at Newk's

3) go to Build A Bear for a My Little Pony

4) nap at Kay Kay's

5) go to Dollar Tree

6) eat ice cream

With the exception of the nap, we hit everything on her list and had such a nice day celebrating our favorite 5 year old!

 We opened a few presents at Kay Kay and G's after church and then headed to Newk's.  We eat there A LOT, but it is my kids favorite!  We snapped a few pictures outside the restaurant after we finished eating.

EK saw a commercial showing that Build A Bear carries the My Little Pony friends.  She begged and begged for me to take her, so I told her that I would give her that for her birthday.  She was giddy and had such a fun time making her very own Twilight Sparkle.

 EK served us some tasty tea from her new tea set that Aunt Jordan and Uncle Ross sent her.  She is smitten with it!

 Speaking of smitten....these 2!

 The ice cream sundae portion of the day served as a nice refresher for Robert and Haley.  They spent the weekend tearing down and rebuilding my parents deck! They did an awesome job!

 Nana and Pop came to stay with us on EK's birthday night.  The kids were so excited to see them and we so appreciate Pop taking care of the yard since J is gone.

 Happy birthday to our sweet girl!!! We love you to the moon and back!!!
