Ellie's 2012 End of Year Interview

I've seen a growing trend of asking kids interview questions on their birthday. I have not done this, but decided that it would be a good New Years activity. At this point it looks like we'll have both girls every year for New Year's Eve so this is my attempt at starting a new tradition. The days are just packed when Ellie is here (not to be confused with the Calvin & Hobbes book of the same title), so it didn't happen until the day she was going to fly home. It was fun to have a few minutes with each of them to find out what they say they like. I was a little surprised by a couple of the answers, but most were right in line with what I expected.
