Happy 5th Birthday, Ella!

293

Happy 5th Birthday to our dear little Ella!  Since birthdays are a big deal around our house Mommy took the day off so that I was able to see Ella get recognized at Morning Program and so that I could bring in cupcakes to school and help her celebrate!  After school Ella wanted to go to the Discovery Center (a fun place for children) but unfortunately we got there too late and it was closing...luckily they had an outdoor play area so Ella really wasn't that bummed out...We then went home and celebrated with presents and cupcakes...it was a great day! 

Here are some things I want to remember about Ella at this age:
  • She still has a HUGE heart!
  • She loves Jesus and loves to pray
  • Loves her naps...and still rocks her little body back and forth to fall asleep...
  • Loves "boy" toys (Spiderman, Batman, etc)...but still can be very girly!
  • She is a little Wiggle Worm!
  • She loves her brothers and sisters but definitely LOVES that one on one time!

Sisters...although these two at times fight like cats and dogs they really do share an amazing bond!

I love this shot...it's Ella walking into the auditorium for Morning Program...As with all these pictures you can tell by her smile that she is just as happy as a clam~
