The Wee One is Three
We celebrated Ellie’s third birthday all weekend and then some this last week. She was whisked away to Grandma McKenney’s house a few days a head of us so she could spend some special one on one time with Grandma and Grandpa McKenney while I worked on a present for her. I think she really enjoyed it because when we showed up she kept saying “I stay at Grandma’s house?” or demanding rather that we were going to stay and not take her home. She was pleased when I told her we would stay until Sunday morning. So the fun continued for the Wee One and we had a small Birthday party for her with Jon’s family. She loves her cousins and lights up whenever they come around. My Mom made Ellie’s day special with pools set up to play in and she planned several games to play with the cousins and such. The party was topped off with a water fight. Gary vs. kids. Although Grandpa McKenney got him good with the a surprise shot to the chest with the sprinklers. By the time we got around to opening presents Ellie was tuckered out and barely had the energy to tear open the paper let alone show any excitement. She loved each one of her presents and has been keeping busy with them.

Happy Birthday Ellie!
Fun! Happy Birthday, Ellie! The pictures were wonderful, and she did look super tired for presents. She sure seemed to love her farm animals! 🙂
I’ve been waiting for this post because it was a very special weekend of fun, laughter, surprises, & cake !! Happy birthday again Ellen. love you , Grandma McKenney:)
Looks like everyone had a really good time!! Grandma Mckenney really knows how to throw a party! Happy Birthday wee one!
I sound like a broken record – wish we could have been there. The first time I knew my girls were growing up was when I could put their hair into ponytails. Kudo’s to Gary for being so great with the kids. The cake looked so cute! Glad you had good weather!
