Ellie Turns Four!!

Today my little Elisia turned four! We had a fun day celebrating with her. It's amazing another year has gone by. As we get older and busier, time flies! (Just look how the last month has flown by - has it really been that long since I last blogged?)

I'm happy to take a moment to pause and reflect on my little four-year-old.


Ellie has grown! She is right on the edge between baby and big girl. We still have those moments of out of control emotions, but I've noticed how she's remembering more and trying so hard to be in control. Ellie wants to be good and follow the rules. She loves to be praised and have all the attention!


Ellie's wish list for her birthday was Ponies, Ponies, Ponies! She also wanted Littlest Pet Shop and Barbies. This lucky little girl received all her wishes. :)


We surprised Ellie and brought her cake to her. Don't you love this look?


After a few tries, Ellie blew out the candles. I love this little girl!


Ellie, my big four-year-old. I am very excited for the upcoming year and all the big-girl experiences we'll share. You really are a sweet and loving girl and we love you so much!
