Happy 6th Birthday Ellie!

It's September 17, 2012 and we officially have a 6 year old.  Wow.  Today Ellie woke up 6 years old and I just looked at her and thought, "look how beautiful she is!"  Six years later and Ellie is exactly as she was the day she was born:  sweet, gentle, observant, and absolutely lovely.  I cannot say how proud I am of our Ellie Marie.  Anyone who knows her, knows her loving and gentle spirit.  Happy Birthday to my first baby girl!

Of course, baby sister has to get in on the loot!

It was a very fun morning opening one more present from Mommy and Daddy and some special goodies sent in the mail from Sandy!  Today, Ellie gets to be the superstar in her class and Dan gets to go to school with her.  I am so thankful that Ellie is so loved and appreciate all who have made her feel extra special for her birthday!  Happy Birthday again Ellie!
