So before she even turned 6, she lost her 5th tooth. The top front. My how this one tooth changes her whole look.
So onto the birthday event. I say event because this birthday last from Wednesday, when we started celebrating to Sunday for the last cookie cake.
Wednesday, we began the celebration so Meme and Papa could share the exciting news - we bought you plane tickets for your birthday. The reaction was not what meme or I thought it would be when she found out. TEARS and hiding her face. Not excited at all.
Ella and I had tickets to Nashville, TN to spend a few days with my childhood friend. We woke up at 4:45 a.m., left home at 5:00, airport by 5:50, then took off at 7:05 a.m. She was super excited once we were at the gate and she saw the airplane.
Boarded the plane
Eating breakfast on the plane - she thought this was cool. We even had drinks on the plane.
In Nashville, we promised Chuck E. Cheese for the actual birthday.
The official birthday girl on August 3rd.
So we bought another cookie cake to celebrate with in Nashville. We had the best "Happy Birthday" sung to Ella from my buddy Regina Leigh.
Ella and I had many adventures during our time in TN but Sunday came and it was time to fly home.
She enjoyed the plane ride, the airport, the whole concept of luggage and finding our gate. She was the tour guide in the airport. We took off and landed four times. We had two flights going and coming home.
I enjoy spending time with this little lady so much. She is such a blessing to our family. Every time Jeff and I look at her we realize that God truly is in control and we will serve him all our days. If you know our family, then you know the story behind this little one God blessed us with 6 years ago.
Her favorite part of the airport was the moving walk ways
Once we landed, the boys picked us up. Boy was she excited to see her daddy and brothers.
We came home for a few hours before heading to Noni and Papa for a swim, pizza and her 3rd cookie cake.
Fun time with family: Mallory, Ella, Seth, Will and Garrett.
So to say that this 6th birthday was an event would be an understatement.
Ella
You amaze us each and everyday. You have an incredible heart for helping others, following directions, and not making others angry or upset. You bring such a new dynamic to our family. You love to play, watch TV, learn new things, work hard, ballet, performing, and just being with your family.
We Love you Bunches
