4 is four.

zero.
one. two.three.
and now 4.
Dear Ellie,
Happy Birthday! You are smart and brave and bossy and sassy. You make life fun and exciting, and your laugh is absolutely contagious. You are learning your letters and numbers and love to color and draw. You are learning in Sunday school. 2 Sunday's ago you told us about Jesus (Daniel) and the lions den and how he prayed to the lions (Heavenly Father) and they didn't eat him. You've got a heart of gold. When you see someone crying you get a concerned look on your face like you feel their pain and wish it could go away and you won't feel better until it does. You want justice. If someone has wronged you watch out, there will be some loud screaming cries and everyone will be sorry.
Your sister and brothers adore you. They did as soon as they saw you the first time in the hospital. They all wanted to hold you all the time. Mommy and Daddy love you too. You are a special spirit that was sent to our home to bring joy to all of us, and you have.
Love,
Mom

So cute all the kids holding baby Ellie! It must be love to sit so close for a picture too, I can't get my kids to get with in a foot of each other when it's time for a picture! But I guess you know what monkeys the can be in that area!

Happy Birthday Ellie!!! I can't wait to sing to you in primary!

I love the two pictures of her with sprinkles. :)

It's hard to see your kids that big. It's one thing when you see them all of the time and watch them grow little by little but it's another thing when they are so very far away.

Happy Birthday Ellie Bellie! Wish we were there to celebrate. And to laugh and laugh and laugh.
