Celebrating Ellie – 2023 edition

I can’t believe Ellie is already 5! Where has the time gone?!?

She is a precocious, sweet, cheerful spitfire. She gives great hugs & almost always has a big smile on. She loves talking to strangers & telling them her whole life story. 😀

She loves to be a big helper, working right alongside her older siblings & Mama and making sure her jobs get done. She brings a lot of joy to our lives. We love you, our Ellie Bear! ❤️

Emma & Keira decorated all over with these colorful paper chains…it’s hard to see her, but she has a cute (huge) smile on & her arms raised (with a leftover braid hanging down in her face) 😂
Mike & Lexa gave her a calendar (with some other things). She found a nail on the stairs & hung it there, marking off each day. She feels so grown up having her own calendar! Every day she tells me what day it is…it’s cute
I love the excitement! (She found an “Ellie” tag on the present from Opa & Oma & decided she needed to wear it since it says her name.) 😀
A cute new bonnet 😍
Look! I’m holding ALL the things! (She loves her new kitchen helper set)
She had asked for this gum months ago, she was pretty excited!
Hugging Grandma 😍🤗
The face! 😂

Thank you for the books Opa & Oma! She loves them & is excited to learn to read so she can read them herself!

She does love books! 💕

On her actual birthday, we went to a Scripture Fest that happens once a year. She was a trooper & ended up having a lot of fun. As she was eating pizza & Popsicles for dinner (both rare treats!!), she says, “This is the BEST DAY EVER!” ❤️
