Let The Par-tay Begin!

Hello, Everybody!

Our weekend began a day early! We picked up Ellen's sister, Carol, at the airport yesterday afternoon after school. We had the foresight to bring her a little "liquid refreshment." (If you know what we mean!)
This picture was taken before we unloaded the car. Ellen is really happy that Carol came down to help celebrate her birthday.

Of course, she had to see the new TV. The picture is good of everybody except Oprah. (Don't tell her, though!)

Of course we had to show off our school. Below is Nursie-Pooh!

Here is one view of our library. We think it is cute because of how the walls are painted. We know that several of our readers are teachers, and we thought they might like to see it.

Here we have the sisters in Nursie-Pooh's office.

After our school visit, we had a great lunch at BJ's.

After lunch, it was time to do some serious shopping. Ellen was looking for a new console for that new television. Below is the one she picked out. It won't be here for a few weeks.

Tomorrow, the house will become a little crowded with the arrival of Nichole and Michael, and Russ, and Joe. We are all gathered to celebrate the big 6-0 for Ellen. Shall we pray?

Until next time . . . . . . . . .
