more pre-birthday celebration

We had an early birthday celebration on Saturday. Ellen's actual birthday is on September 15. She'll be 6!!!! (I'm sure I'll write more about that later.) Since her best friend Lily will not be able to come to her party on that weekend she came over Saturday instead. Shael, Tom, Lily and Cole brought vegan cupcakes, Trader Joe's balloons and gave her some real construction tools. Tom even made a little board with real nails and screws to practice with. Doesn't she look authentic with those tattoos and all! They spent the night and drove back to Greenville Sunday afternoon. We always love having those guys over.
