Little Miss Ellie is three!!!
Her birthday was super exciting since she would switch from over-the-moon happy to end-of-the-world distraught in the blink of an eye...just like usual!
She was so excited for her birthday pancakes but was suddenly heartbroken when her #3 broke. I thought the pictures would serve as a friendly reminder of the personality this girl has!
Her birthday was pretty low-key but one of the major perks of having so much family live close to us it that it always means a party! So we had cousins and grandparents come over for a princess cake.
She was pretty happy about all the attention she was getting.
This picture is super blurry but I wish that I could have snapped it just a few minutes sooner...like the moment that she opened the present to find the Elsa nightgown she had so desperately wanted-this was another over-the-moon moment. What made it extra cute was that a couple days before I had gone shopping (with all three kids in tow)...well that makes buying presents a bit trickier. So when she was swooning over this nightgown, Brig and I joined forces...he distracted and I shoved it into the corner of the basket. I then told her we had to go and we weren't getting the dress...well, she looked in the basket and saw a little bit of blue and looked at me with a knowing smile and said "We're not getting it? Ok, mom."
She was still so excited to open it up. I'm going to have to practice my sneaky skills.
Three reasons why we love Ellie and are so blessed to have her in our home:
1: She is funny. She can really get us all laughing sometimes...and she knows that she can be funny.
2: She loves her brothers. Like a ton. She thinks Brig is "it" and especially is head over heels for him when he is affectionate with him. The other day she was heartbroken because he told her that he couldn't marry her. It was so cute.
3: Her smile. It is radiant. So much goodness and happiness shines from this girl's eyes.
We love you Ellie!
