Ellis' Birthday, part 1

Ellis turned 8 in January. Her birthday celebration included several parts. First, there was dinner at Maple with the family (and gift). Then there was a tea with her friend Jacqueline (and a gift). Then there was a sleepover with friends (and more gifts). Mike's gift was brunch at Le Diplomate, and mine was going to see "The Sleeping Beauty" ballet. The sleepover was delayed due to a massive snowstorm and will, therefore, be covered in a future post. I also included a picture of Ellis holding the final Harry Potter book, which she finished on the evening of her 8th birthday.
