Gifts

My friend Jessica sent you a Fairy house for you to paint. It came with the nicest book about little fairies!

GG, pop pop, Chris, auntie Liz, and Andrew threw a wonderful birthday party again at the beach. We had the most delicious dinner and cupcake birthday cake!. You received a beautiful Elsa doll, bouncy toys, and beautiful pajamas and clothes. On your actual birthday, Pop pop, Andrew, and auntie Liz came over and took you out to lunch. You still were feeling a little sick so daddy kept you home from school and you guys all had a great birthday lunch. I hope you had a wonderful birthday! When you woke up on November 30, the elf was sitting in your brand-new dollhouse.

Birthday party!

What a day! I got choked up just picking up your cake and seeing the #4! We had a great day on the beach. Awesome painting party, scavenger hunt and piñata fun! We have the nicest friends who lve you so much. We are so lucky to have you.

Happy 4th Birthday. We love you Ella Bella!

Love,

Mommy & Daddy

My last post...maybe November 2015

We've had such a wonderful year of so many incredible milestones. You started sleeping in her big girl bed, you finished your first year at Bowman Academy Preschool graduated in June. We had a wonderful trip at the cabin again and all of our friends always come down and see us. You graduated from seal swim school at level six and you're one of the best swimmers at the age of three. Now you're taking swimming lessons at Carrollwood country club and you just love your private lessons with Miss Meredith. You and let's play dates with your friends and birthday parties to attend. Your cousins call you all the time and FaceTime you. We're expecting a baby boy or girl next week with auntie Lana having her second baby and you think it's a baby girl. You're learning your letters and your numbers and your shapes and your colors. The doctor prescribed glasses this year and I felt really bad that we didn't notice that you needed bifocals.

You started a new school this August at Lake Magdalene and I've never been more proud of you. You went from going to school to days a week to going every day from 830 to 2/3.I went back to teaching and you and I had a really rough patch. I think you're a little mad at me because I had to go back to work I think we worked out the kinks and we have our very special moments throughout the week and on the weekends together. I sure do miss taking our 2 to 3 hour naps with each other. You and I've napped with each other since the day you were born. I miss waking up with you in the morning and having breakfast but I know this job is all for you. I hope you know that mommy and daddy would do anything for you. 😍😍😍😍😍

It's your fourth birthday next week. We're celebrating a beautiful party at the beach you and I have bought so many decorations for your party. We are having a mermaid and beach theme party. We're making blue Kool-Aid Jell-O desserts with little goldfish in there. Also making fish and chips with goldfish and potato chips mixed together. Also making star fish rice crispy treats too. Or making a huge fruit salad with the big banana on top of it and we're going to shape it like a big octopus with little eyes. On the beach were going to have a scavenger hunt and we spray-painted and painted pink blue green sheet seashells with glitter all over them. We're also going to be painting see creatures; crabs octopus mermaids etc. on the beach as well. We've invited all of our friends in the neighborhood and a few of your friends from your new school too. I think we're going to have a really great time. Afterwards, I'm really excited to have the whole week at the beach house just with the three of us. We're going to have Thanksgiving there and then going to take you off to Walt Disney World together. I love you to the moon and back, you're the most precious gift ever. I try to be a good mommy and daddy tries to be a great daddy every single day. I know we are not perfect and we made mistakes I just hope you're happy and know that you're so loved. You might be the only four-year-old that still sleeps with her mommy and daddy. You Twirl my hair at night to comfort you while you fall asleep. Sometimes you hold daddy's hand. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night you're right on daddy's back snuggling with him and I love to look at it.
