And today we have this precious BIG girl:
How could it be? The years have truly flown by and now I am the mom to a beautiful five year old girl who never fails to bring joy and laughter into this family. She is kind hearted, joyful, incredibly caring about her brothers, loves to play with her friends, and delights in crafts and singing.

She started out the festivities by a trip the the American Girl Bistro and Boutique with Mimi on the day before her birthday. Here they are enjoying their special girls' lunch along with Ella's new friend, Kit Kittredge:

It's a betta (fish are pets, right?). For those of you who don't know us, that's the only kind of pet these parents are ready for!
Here are Ella and Kit after picking out the perfect fish:
By the way, Jonah is happy and always has a full tummy in his new home, our kitchen. Is it true that you can kill a fish by feeding it too much because fish feeding is a highlight of our day so far, so Jonah gets lots of Betta Bits?

Here's our birthday girl sleeping with no idea about her birthday balloons:

And an even bigger surprise was waking up to find Grammie. She and Poppa arrived after the kids had gone to bed, so she was super excited to see her!
After playing in the balloons with her brothers, Ella dressed in her finest princess gown and opened a few presents:
We then headed out to her princess Build a Bear birthday party.
Here's big Will (our only partying Prince) showing Daddy the bear he picked out:

Ella,
Turning five is very special! So glad it was such a wonderful birthday. You were a beautiful princess! How is Jonah doing? Don't feed him too much because he might not have enough rooms.
Love,
Mimi and Pop
