The Birthday Girl

Our precious '4 year old' woke up quite early this morning

She was ecstatic (Fancy Nancy word) that the birthday fairy had visited overnight and decorated in pink!

She was happy and felt so special as she came downstairs......

some presents were waiting for her....along with some more 'pink' from the fairy

the 1st thing she opened were some cozy furry slippers....she has been asking for some

you can tell by the look on her face...."this is just what i wanted" ....thanks auntie jojo and uncle curtis..................

.......for the fantastic barbie mariposa computer!

And then came the Leapster 2 from Nannie and Muntz......sooooo excited.

She got a couple games from mommy and daddy and logan and spent some time playing her new video game before preschool.

Logan had fun playing with the balloons......

She loved Logan's "1" candle and has been anxiously awaiting a "4" candle......she was super excited to see it glowing on her doughnuts!

And then it was time to put on her special birthday outfit, compliments of mommy, which she LOVED!!!!!! She looked darling!

And had to strike a few poses.......

Well, more than a few :0)

And to top her morning off, her BIG surprise was grammie and papa came with mommy, daddy, and logan to pick her up from school. Grammie read her preschool class a special book and Ella felt so special. She grinned from ear to ear and was so proud.

Then it was off to lunch at her favorite after-school spot......Chick-fila. This little girl ate 8 nuggets....Guess I am just not used to a 4 yr old appetite!

When we took Grammie and Papa home, Ella's present was waiting for her!!!! She could hardly believe it...It was the Hello Kitty bike that she wanted!!!!

Riding in style! Tutu style!

Getting a little help from Papa!

And to top off the birthday girl's special day, she got to pick her favorite spot for dinner.....Sauce

We were all excited and hungry!!!! She had to sit next to daddy since he had to work this afternooon and she missed him so!

Logan LOVED his meatballs and gobbled them up!!! I had to get a photo of my favorite shirt that reads 'best little brother ever'.....that he is!

Yummy pizza!

I think our little girl had quite a wonderful day.....she deserved every minute of it!

I can't wait to see what this year brings this special little girl!

Ella......you are LOVED!
