Elise's 7th Birthday

 Elise's 7th birthday celebrations started off big with a trip to SDC with the Kelbs.  The girls rarely had to wait in line for the rides, and they got to see the parade and the tree show--they loved both!

 Check out Elise's poor nose.  More on that to come.
 Elise's great-grandpas love to dote on her, so it's only fitting that she was surrounded by them at her family party.  She looks pretty bummed in these pics because Aunt Sacy had to work on her nose--she had a boil, and it had to be cleaned out.  It took both Poppy and I to hold her down so Sacy could work on her.
 Good old fashioned can-stilts!
 Sean and I got Elise her own Kindle Fire for her birthday--she absolutely loves it.  We've been impressed with it, too!
 Okay, the pics downloaded in a weird order, so sorry.  More of SDC.  They spent a lot of time on our shoulders that night!

 It was past Mr. Owen's bedtime, so he went on to sleep on his dad's back!
 I printed this pic because I loved it, but you can really see how angry Elise's nose was in this pic.  I took her to urgent care after her family party at Lacy's urging (thanks, Lac!!) and found out that what started as a boil ended up with MRSA (an aggressive type of Staph infection).  The poor kid had to cancel her birthday play date with her friend Alyssa, and had to keep it bandaged and take oral and topical antibiotic for 10 days. 
 Luckily we were able to reschedule with Alyssa for part 3 of Elise's birthday festivities: a play date at Build-A-Bear and Play McDonald's!


They made horse best friends: Brownie and Buttercup :)
Every year, I ask Elise the same 20 questions to see how the answers change.  Here is the 2015 edition:
