Elyse turned 5 last week and we celebrated in style. On Tuesday, just Elyse and I went to the doctor and then out for lunch and then shopping where she got to pick out this new dress she is wearing (she LOVES dresses and thinks it is such a treat to wear them). Then for her birthday she was the special girl at pre-school and then we went to Chuck E Cheese for lunch. Elyse loves it there!
Then it was dinner at our house with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Dave and the Kvellestad's.
Elyse was thrilled with her "big girl bike". It was a really fun gift to give and she was so excited.
Taking it for a spin down the hall.
The next day we tried it outside. Elyse did great but she forgot how to stop and got scared and grabbed the fence to stop herself and fell off her bike. Those are the pitfalls when learning how to ride a bike :)
Paige did great on her bike, she finally was using the pedals, she always has insisted on scooting along with her feet.
To keep the festivities going we had a bowling party on Sunday for her friends. This is Olivia, Elyse and Brooklyn.
The whole gang! Olivia, Hannah,Elyse, Brooklyn, Paige, Connor, Coleman, Tyler and Jett. We rented out 3 of 4 lanes at the community center and it worked out great. It was alot of fun.
My big girl. I am so proud of the little lady Elyse has become. She is so smart and has such good manners and a fun personality. She is so helpful and is really determined and motivated. I can't believe she is 5 already, I love her so much and hope she always stays this amazing! Love you babe, Happy Birthday!!
