Growing up so fast!

Well it's official....Ella has turned the dreaded age of 5!!! I was so not looking forward to her turning five. I am so sad that she is now old enough to go to Kindergarten and will be starting me on a forever schedule starting in August. Ella however is so excited for school and about being old enough to use all the fingers on one hand when you tell people your age. She wanted to do a bunny party this year. I was all about that idea as I knew Easter would be just a couple weeks before her birthday and there would be plenty of bunny supplies to help us celebrate. So, Grandma, Natalie, Uncle Corey, Aunt Stephani, John, and Madi came to our house to celebrate. We had chick-fil-a and cake and ice-cream and presents. It's great that at this age, it still doesn't take much to excite them.

Here is my big girl!

My attempted bunny cake!

Dinner fun!

Cake time!

She did pretty good blowing out the candles!

We are so glad we have been able to spend 5 wonderful years with our little girl and look forward to many more birthdays.

The week after her birthday, she had her preschool graduation. She has spent the last year in a Joy School program called "Little Lady Bugs" She has 3 other girls in her class. The four of us mothers would just swap houses and teaching each Tuesday/Thursday and do their preschool. Ella loved every minute of it. As for me...although they were a great group of girls, I am glad it's over. Teaching for some reason would stress me out! I am glad she had a good experience and she is so ready for kindergarten!

Here are the girls Larkin (who wasn't too keen on being photographed that day), Ella, Emily, and Seneca

Her "diploma"

Congrats little girls! We are so glad we got to spend the year teaching you!
