Ellie's Birthday

Due to Brent and I's ridiculously busy schedules I decided we would take the kids to pick out their own presents rather than spend the time choosing what to get them and wrapping everything. Yes, this was a lazy decision, but I'm stressed out. So, did this lessen the stress you ask? Hah!!! Imagine a 4-year-old let loose in Toys 'R' Us...I lived it!

Ellie had so much fun. She grabbed the first things she saw and chucked them in the cart. She did have a spending limit, but that only made sense to Mom and Dad. By the time we'd made it through the store, the cart was overflowing and we were WAY over budget. We took everything out of the cart, laid it on the ground, and made her choose her favorites.


She was thrilled with her presents, as evidenced by the photos. Avery's maniacal smile has to do with the fact that her shopping spree was on it's way in 10 days.
