Another year wiser and older too!

Happy Birthday Ellie Mae! Ellie's 6th birthday was November 2nd (I'm late posting this due to the chaos of the week). 
Ellie was very excited to share birthday treats in her kindergarten class; she chose donuts. She came home wearing a special birthday crown from her teacher. She wore all night and even on Saturday.

  And her daddy surprised her by picking her up after school with a bouquet of flowers. So sweet. I love that he does this for her. 

She was so excited for her special day. For her birthday present we got her a new bed. The poor thing has been sleeping in a toddler bed for far too long. Spencer's sister was getting rid of a twin bed and offered it to us, which was wonderful! And I took Ellie to IKEA to pick out a new duvet cover for a comforter we already had, she thought she was helping me pick it out for a cousin and said "I wish I could get one too."  She was so ecstatic when she saw her new bed set up with the comforter she picked out!And her big brother also got a birthday gift. He chose to get her some "girl" Legos. Which she has not stopped playing with. All in all, a good birthday!
Ellie is such a wonderful part of our family. She is sweet and kind, but also has a sassy side. She is our artist: loves to draw, color, paint. Ellie loves anything crafty. She will spend hours doing crafts and creating new things. The artwork she brings home from class is always very detailed. And she loves to display all her artwork. She hangs up every piece, and I mean every piece, on her walls. She loves jewelry and takes good care of the ones she has. Ellie loves to laugh and giggle and her smile is so beautiful. She is such a good helper for her little brother. And she's quite the social butterfly. She asks lots of questions and is working hard to read. Ellie Mae, we love you so much and hope you have a fantastic time being 6!
