Morning party

We got Ellie's birthday started in true kid fashion this morning - with sugar!!!

A few little doughnuts and a lot of laughs with Ellie at the table this morning.
The gang gathers for singing. 
Ellie sees her two chocolate munchkins and... 
decides she'll eat the plate instead. 
Jacob comes in to help facilitate the eating. 
She watches and takes it all in. 
She's still considering how delicious the plate looks. 
We light the candle and sing! 
"Hello again deliciousness." 
We try to put a piece of doughnut in her mouth, she spits it out. 
"What about my feeding tube, is this o.k. to eat?" 
Another attempt. 
"Maybe I'll try this time." 
"Now I'm getting so tired of all this eating." 
"What is this on my lip?" 
"Are we having fun yet?" 
"You people really want me to eat this." 
"What about what I want?  I want to go to my bed, get a bath and take a nap." 
"Thank you.... 
...and goodnight." 
Happy Birthday sweet girl - we are glad you were born.
