Ella's Birthday

December has been a crazy month for our family, and I'm sure many of you can relate. Among the "normal" Christmas Season festivities, our family celebrates 4 out of 6 of our birthdays. Brian and Zach on the 11th, Ella on the 21st and then Lauren on the 31st. So, we have been having lots and lots of fun! When we were celebrating Zach's birthday, I asked Ella if she was excited for her birthday. I asked her if she wanted to have our usual family dinner and she told me "Mommy, I want to go to McDonald's for my birthday and play in the Play Place and I want Sandra and Zoey and Colton and Sydne to come and play with me." I could NOT believe that my little baby had it all planned out. She told me where she wanted to go and who she wanted to be there...I just thought that was Hilarious! My little baby is not really my "little" baby anymore. She surprises me everyday...I can't believe how grown-up she acts! Her birthday fell on a Sunday this year, and so the kids were all dressed nicely...what a good opportunity to take some more photos, huh? Well, here are some photos of our birthday girl on her special day...Enjoy!

Then...

and Now...
