Yesterday was Ella's 4th birthday! How in the world is that even possible? I can't believe it! My mom, Randy & Chase were still visiting us, so we were all able to go out for birthday breakfast! They made Ms. Ella the cutest little Mickey Mouse birthday pancake - she was loving this special treat!
I guess the whipped cream mouth was a little crooked! HA!
Ella had such a blast with Chase all weekend long, they kept themselves very busy! Friday afternoon after they arrived, we had to open Easter Baskets! (yes, it's been that long since we've seen them!) Ella was super excited to get Cat in the Hat and Chase got new Batman shades - hilarious!
I forgot to tell you about the Nabi tablet gifted to Ella from my mom.
She got a tablet before me - UNREAL! But Ella loves it already.
Listening to Laurie Berkner music on her new Minnie Mouse headphones is
her favorite! She seems so grown up with headphones on - but I think
the Minnie Mouse ones are ADORABLE! She spent time playing on the Nabi
both Saturday afternoon & Sunday morning before breakfast!
Before everyone headed home, we snapped a few pictures. Too bad not everyone's eyes are open!
And then we headed out for Ella's inaugural bike ride. (See her baby bringing up the rear!)
More birthday gifts on her actual birthday from Paul & Jolyn!
We had some fun with the GIANT birthday bag!
We played some soccer outside - Ella's a decent shot!
And we had to capture the annual picture by the birthday balloons!
Last night Jay & I sang Happy Birthday to her (again)!
Happy Birthday Ella! I can't believe how much you have grown this past year. You're still tall for your age and are wearing 4T mostly, but pants have to be a 4 for the length. You have new sparkly silver sandals in size 10! You are writing your name now and asking TONS of questions about all kinds of things (you're so curious!) :) You LOVE to sing, even making up songs about random stuff, which I love to listen to! You like to play "mommy" and take such good care of your "babies"! I am so proud of you for finally conquering the potty training and now you are even riding bike! There's been big changes this year with preschool, Sunday School and going to Sara's school and you adjusted really well! You love to learn new things and are a great helper at home with making your bed & even helping me with laundry & cleaning! I look forward to making lots of fun memories this summer and hopefully decorating a new bedroom for you soon! You've certainly outgrown your toddler bed!! We love you!
