happy 5-year birthday everett!

posted by everett

i turned 5 years old today! i chose a special breakfast (buttermilk pancake muffins with lots of yummy toppings) and dinner (homemade mac 'n cheese with hot fudge sundaes). i've really been into star wars lately so mommy and daddy themed it up with one of my favorite characters, darth vadar. daddy even had darth vadar sing "happy birthday" to me. just like owen and eloise, we went to the zoo in the morning and saw all the fun animals. we even rode the carousal and as a birthday boy, my ride was free. i also received lots of fun gifts from my family, including really cool walkie talkies! we finished the day off by playing fun board games and going outside for some basketball.

i woke up to a darth vadar-inspired door of streamers

birthday celebration

posted by owen and everett

since our birthdays are so close to each other, we had a joint birthday party this year with friends. even better, lula, two of our cousins - reagan and rye, and grammie and gampa were here to help celebrate it. the party was at the miller activity complex here in castle rock (we moved a couple months ago to castle rock!). we played on the climbing structure and cooled off in the swimming pool. lots of our good friends and their families showed up and helped us celebrate.

yoda for owen and darth vadar for everett

goodie bags for our friends that had temporary tattoos,
popcorn, and fidget spinners! and mini cupcakes for us all to
enjoy - hot fudge sundae, lemon drop, and birthday cake sprinkles.

they had a perfect size pool for eloise

awesome cousins!

eloise and reagan enjoyed mimicking each other


rye the human playground


we loved being able to celebrate with our cousins. 
maybe next year the rest of the ellison crew will make it out!
