Celebrating our girls

The family on Miranda's dedication at the end of April.

The big girl celebrating at the venue of her choice--the pool in Ramstein.

Having fun!


M had fun too, but also needed a nap.

Our little swimmer! She loves diving for her princesses. (See Belle?)

Dinner at Macaroni Grill--what a treat!

 
 

The cake came later, on her actual birthday (the 13th).




She loves her new sleeping bag!

Great excitement about the Tinkerbell movie.


Sisters helping her unwrap the goods.


We have a few more pictures to share, but wanted to get these up before we head off on our vacation. What a fun and busy weekend we had celebrating Ellie! She's our ball of energy, and loved all we did to celebrate. We never know what she'll do or say--it's always fun to be around her. She opened a toy clarinet and said "Ahh! Just what I've always wanted!" So sweet. Thank you all for helping to make her birthday so special. We can hardly believe she's four--it seems only yesterday she was our little baby. Now she's our big girl! Happy birthday, sweet Ellie.

I love the pictures of the birthday and the trip to Ramestein. Your girls are becoming fish or is it mermaids? Have a wonderful trip! We can't wait to see the next pictures! Love,

Wow! Ellie is 4! Jen it seems like yesterday when John banished us to Dunkin Donuts with the newborn Ellie while he showed the Herndon House to buyers.

We love you Ellie!
