Grandma B bought Ellie-Kate "Rock-em', Sock-em', Robots"!
Ellie-Kate with all of her presents... Usually, we unwrap presents at night, but, given that we were pretty snowed in, we went ahead and allowed Ellie-Kate to open them in the early afternoon. She was very eager to dig into them :)
Britti and Ellie-Kate with Britti and Ramon's present to her!
Ellie-Kate had a little yellow duck in one of the very first pictures that we ever saw of her... Lately, she's been asking about "her" duck, but the duck from the picture didn't come home with her from China. Roger looked at over 1000 ducks on e-bay and finally stumbled on to this one, and he bought it for her as a birthday present. Yes, she's upstairs sleeping with it now :)
Ellie-Kate's presents! She got her duck, an indoor basketball, Merida, the cast from Frozen, the horse from Tangled, and some clothes :)
Given all of the snow days, Ellie-Kate's castle doll house and Disney princess barbies have made their way downstairs. Now, she also has the "Frozen" castle on the floor too.
We intended this cake for Ellie-Kate's big party at the rec center, but we had to go ahead and buy this one now and order another one for the postponed party. The good news? We hadn't ordered a cake for the family party yet so we just celebrated with this one today.
Roger woke Christie up to the news that the roads hadn't been treated. Although they had been cleared yesterday, the wind blew the snow over the road, in addition to the new snowfall over night. The van definitely couldn't make it up the road so we stayed home from church and watched "Brady Bunch" re-runs. While the girls played downstairs, Roger and Christie did a kick-boxing video. After lunch, we opened presents, went sledding, and then enjoyed dinner at Ponderosa, followed by more Barbies. All in all, a great birthday for Ellie-Kate!
