Ellie turned 4 on May 22. She was very excited and had to open her presents early in the day (actually Kristen was excited and had to let Ellie open her presents early).

One of Ellie's favorite presents was her rollerblade set up. As you can see, she is well protected.

Grandma and Grandpa came by later that day to wish her happy birthday. She was thrilled about the American Girl(ish) doll they brought for her.

No 4-year-old's birthday would be complete without a trip to Chuck E. Cheese. MMMM..... crappy pizza!

Ellies' birthday cake was a big hit. Kristen made a purse for the Bean.
