Birthday Boy


We just had a fun night with this birthday boy - presents, presents, presents, and more CUPCAKES! This time they weren't froggy cupcakes, but it was okay because they had blue "frinkles." In Ellis' mind, the perfect night! Here's the present roundup:

"Monkey George" - an instant hit! For some reason, the stuffed animals are big with both boys right now. George immediately made it to the top of the stuffed animal kingdom and got the honor of sleeping with Ellis tonight.

He immediately had to get Frankie, the other monkey, so there could be "TWO MONKEYS!"

Sumo wrestlers from Grandpa Dave - not a favorite.

Still disturbed by the sumo wrestler for several minutes afterward. For a while he didn't want to open any more presents (luckily, I'm pretty sure my dad got it for free, so he can't feel too bad :).

Mysterious orange thing from Henry - approved!

Vintage "Little People" and accompanying cars and bus were a definite hit with both boys (thanks, eBay!). They couldn't get enough of them for the rest of the night! I knew Ellis would love getting some people to play with because he has been obsessed with the "boys" that came with our train set. In my searching, I decided that the classic Little People are the best!

Rewind back to the Saturday night birthday party. Here is a great clip of Ellis' first view of the froggy cupcakes. Some people might say that a sugar problem runs in our family . . .
