EVB: 6 Years Old! Happy Birthday, Ellen!

I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow our little Ellen turned 6! It's hard to believe she's that old; it seems just like yesterday we were preparing for her birth and still wondering if she would be a boy or a girl.

Ellen is doing so well at Kindergarten ... making friends and and eagerly learning new things each day. She wakes up excited to get on the bus and comes home happy in the afternoon with lots to tell us about her day. Toward the end of the summer, Ellen picked up on reading so we've been enjoying having her read bedtime stores to us each night.

All-in-all, our little girl is a happy, healthy, bright, curious, determined, funny, well-adjusted little person. She brings so much joy to our family and we are beyond lucky to be her parents. We're excited for a fun year ahead of Ellen being 6!

Big girl!

Ellen was very stoic when opening gifts at her party, but I know she bursting with excitement inside!

Ellen chose a princess theme for this year's party. :)
