ELLIE IS FOUR!

What a BEAUTIFUL BABY .....WITH MORE HAIR THAN I HAD EVER SEEN!  She just 

looked like a baby doll!

Look at those cheeks....they are so kissable and I love it that she still loves kisses.  What a good girl!

This picture was taken last year before she had her hair cut.  It had gotten a lot longer than this....pretty amazing for such a little girl.

This picture was taken when Ellie was here this summer.  I enjoyed her so much.  She is kind of soft spoken, but don't let that fool you.  She is full of life, laughter, and fun.  I was really amazed at how much she had grown up.  She was really one of the big girl's ....playing with Alexis and Madelyn, but was always kind to include Karlie in the mix.  The 4 of them would go off together and be in their own world of pretend.  When they would preform for us,  I was amazed at how she knew the songs and the dances she had been watching Alexis do.  She stayed right with it and took her performance very seriously .   It did make me very sad to think about all of these cute things I miss seeing her do.  Tasha told me that she also practices the piano like her older sisters...WHAT A GIRL!  I LOVE THAT SHE ALWAYS RUNS TO ME AND GIVES ME HUGS AND KISSES....AND ESPECIALLY THAT SHE NEVER GETS TIRED OF THEM.  I LOVE THAT SHE LOVES TO SIT ON MY LAP AND HAVE ME READ TO HER.  I LOVE THAT SHE IS SO LOVING, KIND, AND GOOD.  WE HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY SWEET ELLIE.  WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!
