The day started off with a little breakfast in bed.
As soon as Aaron woke up, we let Elsie come out to the family room to see her present.
It was a Barbie Jeep. (I really wanted to give her this for Christmas, but we didn't have room in our little car to take it to UT. Aaron and I are really hoping she doesn't expect this kind of thing for every birthday!)
She was excited. But not as excited as I was expecting. She showed more enthusiasm for the Barbie that came with the Jeep. Ha ha!
She did spend the rest of the day setting up camp in the Jeep. We hadn't put the battery in yet, so it was just sitting in the family room. It was like her little playhouse for the day. 
We ended the night with a Papa John's pizza and, Elsie's favorite, Garlic Butter dipping sauce. Yeah, she pretty much drenches every bite with it. So gross!
After dinner, we put the battery in the car and took it outside for a drive. She wasn't so sure about it and was kind of throwing a fit because she thought it was hard. (It's not hard, but she thinks anything that requires a little physical effort is too much!) Needless to say, Aaron and I were both a little frustrated...not a cheap little toy! We chalked it up to bad timing (it was late and dark) and her being tired. We tried it again yesterday and she had much more fun!

mmmmm garlic dipping sauce.
my favorite was when we skyped and first thing she said "It's my birthday"
that jeep is awesome! I'm sure Q would be down to ride with Elsie.
garlic dipping sauce...just the thought makes me gag...but at least it made the birthday girl happy!
Love the Barbie Jeep! Lexi got a Barbie Jeep when she was youger too! Her and her friends would dress up in the Princess gowns and drive around the block in the Jeep! So much fun for them. Lexi also thought she should be able to drive it in the road since it is a car!! Be careful with that!!
Love Birthday week!! Oh man...she is seriously going to love that Jeep come spring and summer time...she can drive on over and her and the girls can have a jeep party...they will have so much fun together! She's FOUR! Holy smokes!
