I unintentionally played a trick on her, though. The present she chose to bring to lunch (Ellie picked to have lunch at Five Guys - Yum!) was wrapped in pink paper. Before we left for the restaurant, I saw her examining the box very carefully. She could see through the paper and see that it was a Spiderman toy. Now, it was not a Spiderman toy. Anyone that knows Ellie, knows she would NOT like a Spiderman toy. In fact, it was two shirts from her favorite store that I had put inside of the Spiderman box. I just needed a box! No trick was intended...but, I let her go on thinking that she was getting a Spiderman toy as a gift. You'll see the picture below of her at the restaurant. The picture was taken before she realized that there were shirts in the box. She is smiling like she is okay with the Spiderman toy, isn't she? What a good sport.
Ellie's birthday kicks off our whirlwind of birthdays at our house. Next is Austin, then me, then John all in about a month and a half.
Happy Birthday, Ellie! We love you!
