another grumpy face...Love how she sticks her lips together and wrinkles up her nose! Sometimes she complete the grumpy look by crossing her arms!
And the "happy face"...kind of a silly happy smile in this picture...just tonight she has learned how to make a "surprised face"...she opens her mouth and eyes up wide! She looks so silly! She does good to remember the 3 faces...when we say "make a grumpy face or happy face or surprised face" she gets it right every time! What a fun discovery...
Little fingers getting a paint job...
toes nails all ready for summer...
On the way home the sun was shining in Elsie's eyes...so she asked (maybe more like pointed!) for my sunglasses to wear! Silly girl!
Love her little pink crocks...just taking it easy in the stroller while mommy and daddy do all the walking!
She giggles and laughs...I think she a little jumping bean!
There is a "one kid jumping a time" rule on this trampoline...and Elsie is always super excited when it is her turn! I love watching her jump...her feet never leave the matt...she just bends her knees...but to her, she is touching the sky!
Elsie is always begging to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house...and now with the trampoline she is even more excited to go! What fun childhood memories...
Looks like she needed a little help from uncle Colter to get her golf ball in the hole...
With a smile like that it looks like she was pretty proud of herself!
She can manage to pull up lots of new screens with the touch of just a few buttons! What a computer genius! 
Elsie just couldn't wait for the gift opening! I think she wanted to rip into all the gifts! She was very interested in the gift we wrapped up for Keegan...I think she thought of it as "hers" since she helped to wrap it up! 
We brought with a special gluten-free cup cake for Elsie to eat...
After she had eaten all she wanted of the cup-cake she fed it to the dogs! I think she was rather interested in those 2 little dogs...especially when they practically jumped in her lap to eat all the crumbs off her lap! 
When we were getting ready to leave Elsie was trying to give Keegan hugs and kisses...
She was being so nice and loving...a little mother...
Whether he wanted hugs and kisses or not...she was going to hug him! I love this last photo...he is trying to get away...but she is happy to hold him there for a little hug! I think Elsie enjoyed the little party...and the hugs! 
Just a note that I really normally do his laundry...but I was busy at the moment so that is why he is doing it!
Elsie was more than willing to stand outside and let me take lots of pictures...Love that she had to bring to dolly outside also!
A close up of the big ruffle...I find myself trying to put ruffles on everything that I make for Elsie! I think they add an adorable feminine touch...these ruffles are made out left over scraps from an old cotton bed sheet! The fabric from the pants are left over from Elsie's little rocking chair...
Such cute little pig-tails...
Then they got a little wild with lots of barrettes! How many can they fit on one little head!?
In the end Elsie came came with 3 pony-tails! What a crazy style! I hope Elsie and her aunties get a little better sense of style as they get older!
I can't wait for this summer when we can go to the farmers market and get lots of fresh and organic veggies! I am so happy that Elsie is a fan of lots of fruits and veggies...
A highlight of her day is watching all the neighbor kids get off the school bus...today she was waving to all the kids as they walked past our house...I think she was rather disappointed they didn't stop to play with her!
Elsie has discovered her little wagon...she loves to go on wagon rides! She even had to give her baby doll rides in the wagon!
She couldn't quite figure out how to pull the wagon...so pushing it worked good for her...
She is not bug kind of girl...yet! But she does have a thing for rocks! She always seem to have a rock in her hand...
Just love this picture...how can anyone resist taking a picture of cute,chubby little toddler legs!?
Elsie cried and cried when we had to come in for dinner...so after dinner we all went on a long walk up town so we could get a little more fresh air...She almost fell asleep in her stroller! With all the fresh air Elsie had been sleep extremely well at night! She has been going to bed early and sleeps soundly all night...only to wake up all refreshed and ready to go back out and play all day again!
