They Say It's You're Birthday...

Actually, that is what we said.

We celebrated Ellie's birthday on September 27th (a week late). We mislead (OK, lied) to her and told her that her birthday was a week later because Lance was in NYC on her actual birthday. Good thing she can't read the calendar yet. Although, I have to admit that I did cut her some slack (on the DL) on Sept. 20th. We celebrated by taking her to the Haribo Candy factory that is very close our house. We opted out of the tour (sure fire way to bore a kid) and headed straight to the factory store. Wow. Now I have a full understanding of the phrase "like a kid in a candy store." She had a blast. We also took the kids to a mini amusement park with blow-up air castles (as much as they cause me flashbacks -- 1999 LPS head lice epidemic -- it was her "party" even if it was just the four of us). In addition, she got to pick out her "cake" at the Pàtisserie. Holy cr*p. Probably going to be the best birthday cake she ever has. There is a full pictorial account in the "France Round 3" slideshow.
