Our baby girl turned 5 years old on the 7th of this month. So extremely crazy to believe how fast time has flown by?!
While its hard to believe 5 years could have already passed, Ella often reminds us how quickly she really is growing up. The week before her birthday, Ella discovered her 1st loose tooth. {It has taken me so long to publish this post that she now has her 2nd loose tooth too} Reading is a task she is trying to master with full force, most weeks she is able to read her homework and answer the questions appropriately. Her personality is taking on that of a full-fledged little girl. She can often be heard saying "Oh my gosh, I cannot believe that..." or correcting Aubrey on the "right" way to do/say things.
This year, Ella got to celebrate her 1st school birthday. At her preschool, you get to be "star of the week" during your birthday week. Its a full week of Ella, show-and-tell, a star board and even a lanyard that says "I'm the star!" Ella chose to have mommy bring in donuts for her class as the special treat on her actual birthday.

| During "star of the week" time, Ella used her microphone to pick 3 friends who asked her questions about anything on her star board. |

| Taking the microphone very seriously ;-) |

| Nothing completes "Happy Birthday" like some maracas!! |
Ella's birthday celebration continued on Saturday at "The Pumpkin Patch" on Sauvie Island. We were blessed with the 1 dry and surprisingly warm day in a 2-week stretch for her party. Ella and her friends loved the hay ride, scavenger hunt and party fun to be had!
Happy happy birthday Ella!! We love you so much. Here's to another fun-filled year =)
