The Party Continues...

Ella was not done celebrating her birthday when her gymnastics party was over, she wanted to keep going.  Grandma and Grandpa came into town for her birthday so we all headed bowling.  None of us, with the exception of Sam, had bowled in a long time and it definitely showed.  We had a good time though.  The birthday girl was a little disappointed not to get any strikes or spares but still enjoyed the time together with everyone.  
After bowling, it was almost time for the Missouri Tigers basketball game.  John and Sam went to pick up some Shakespeare's Pizza and we headed back to the house in hopes of watching a Tiger victory.  The Tigers lost in overtime but Ella wasn't even watching by that point so no worries.

A birthday treat! 

The next day after church and before Grandma and Grandpa headed back to Kansas City we went to lunch together.  The birthday girl's choice was Fudruckers.  She soaked in the birthday attention and love and had a great day!  She is of course ready to celebrate one more time in a few weeks with the rest of the family.
