Happy Birthday Ella!

It is hard to believe our little girl is already turning 4 today(Friday the 8th)!

Ella continues to be a joy each day. She is out-going, friendly, thoughtful and compassionate. She continues to adore her baby doll and take care of her daily. She is an outspoken little "helper" and likes be a mommy to even Caleb some days. Although, they have really grown to be wonderful playmates. Books are still a big hit and she still sings a good portion of her day away. She loves to cook, but play food does not always satisfy...she wants a real egg to mix in her mixer! We frequently find her playing dress-up in usually some princess dress and accessories and having a tea party in her room with her dolls and stuffed animals. She enjoys her Sunday school class at church and likes going to dance lessons each week and practicing at home in silly dancing times. She is eager to learn and really enjoys us teaching her things and actively participating in whatever preschool activities I come up with each week. Almost daily she asks to do a craft or to make a card or picture for someone. She is very concerned about others with sickness or hardship and often wants to pray to Jesus about them. When it is not soooo cold, going outside is a daily must for Ella...riding her tricycle to the park, swinging, climbing, jumping on a trampoline or playing in the sand are all favorites.

We have some fun things planned to celebrate with family this weekend and friends next weekend. We will post birthday pictures soon.
