Our Beautiful Baby Girl Turned SIX!!

I can not believe our Ella Belle is SIX years old! The past six years have been a whirlwind of wonderful memories for our family. Watching Ella grow and learn has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever been a part of. She went from a happy, dependent baby to a curious and funny toddler to a smart and gorgeous girl! Ella has been the light of our lives every single day for the past six years. I wish there were words to describe how in love we are with this little piece of heaven!

Ella, you are such a smart, beautiful girl. Mommy, Daddy and Avinn love you more than you will ever know. You are the perfect daughter and the best big sister anyone could ask for. Keep reaching for your dreams and don't stop for anything. You can be and do whatever you want in this big big world! Work hard and anything is possible. Stay true to yourself and follow your dreams...wherever they may take you.

Happy Birthday baby girl. We love you!!

Ella says...

Last Friday night while driving to a birthday party, Ella and I have the following conversation:

Ella: Mommy, did you know that when King Luther was alive, red kids and white kids couldn't play together?
Me: What do you mean?
Ella: Well, King Luther made a law that let red kids and white kids play together.
Me: (VERY confused at this point) Honey, I don't know who King Luther is...
Ella: You know...we don't have school on Monday because of him.
Me: (trying not to laugh out loud) OHHHHH, you mean Martin Luther King?
Ella: Yeah, Martin Luther King. He made the world a better place. He made a law for red and white kids so they could play together.
Me: Don't you mean black kids, honey.
Ella: OH YEAH - I saw a red light and just said red kids.
