Happy Birthday Ellie!

We are so sad that we aren't there with you today but hope that your day has been PERFECT!



He's clapping for you!



It sounded so simple - we wanted to write you a happy birthday note in jelly beans since we so affectionately call you Ellie-bean...but Jack got into the jelly beans as soon as we got started and went straight to eating them!

And then he thought it would be fun to dump the entire bag on the floor. Here's the before and after...

Maybe Jack's just mad we aren't there! We love you Ellie...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
