If you hadn't seen Ellie for the past few weeks, you might not know last Saturday was her birthday. If you have seen Ellie in the last few weeks, you know that she was going to have A BALLET BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH TUTUS AND CUPCAKES AND I'M TURNING FIVE AND THE CUPCAKES WILL BE PINK AND WHITE AND STRAWBERRY AND EARS PIERCED WHEN I'M FIVE AND THERE WILL BE BALLERINAS AND JUST GIRLS AT MY BALLET PARTY NO BOYS WITH EARRINGS FOR ME AND PINK CUPCAKES AND TUTUS. And so it was.

One of Ellie's friends declared on the bouncy bridge: BEST! ELLIE! BIRTHDAY! PARTY! EVER!



And so it was.
