Ellena's 4th Birthday


Ellena turned 4 on Thursday. She had the hardest time falling asleep the night before - she told Pops, "I'm too excited to fall asleep!!!!!!" She got a card in the mail from Aunty Nani the day before and we told her she couldn't open it until her birthday. What does she do? Sleep with it under her pillow. The next morning, she woke up super early and opened her card right away! She then got to open one of her presents - the saxophone that Evan got for her. Here is the Pajama Gang putting on a little impromptu concert before getting ready for the day.


After a couple errands (we needed candles for the cake!!) and getting Evan from summer school, we ate a quick lunch and started our afternoon adventure. First stop - feed the ducks at the neighborhood pond.


We then went to a trampoline place in Kirkland. I didn't tell them where we were going and that drove Evan (Mr. Planner) absolutely nuts!!!! Poor guy! But they had a ton of fun jumping into the foam pit. Ellena chose where we ate for dinner (our favorite Thai place - second year in a row for her!) and we came back to the house for birthday pumpkin cake and presents. We love you, Ellena!
