happy birthday elise!

Our sweet Elise is FOUR!

We had her birthday party at the lake on Sunday.  She kept saying "Everybody that loves me is coming to my party!"  She even informed Grandpa he was invited to the party - at his own house.  

My mom and dad got a new toy.  

And Elise had to show off her ski trainer skills.  

She actually fell off in the middle of the lake for the first time ever. 

She climbed right back on and waved at her panicked mother who ran out on the dock to swim to her.  Fancy pants. 

Grandpa & Grandma Great even came out.  

She's a little spoiled.  She got lots of good stuff for her birthday. 

Today (her actual birthday) we made "birthday pizza" for dinner and then went out for ice cream.  And then she ran in the sprinkers.  Pretty good day for a four year old.  

We tried out a new toy - rocket balloons. 

Nick was blowing them up and Elise says "Daddy isn't this a two person job?"

Thank you everyone who loves Elise for a really fun birthday!
