Happy 4th Birthday Eloise!!

Happy Birthday to the sweetest four-year-old girl!  Eloise has been looking forward to her birthday and was so excited to be able to celebrate with her friends and family.  

We were in charge of joy school that week so we had a mini party with her friends.  The girls loved playing dress up and have a tea party.  In the picture we have Hazel Albertson in the back and then Miley Newell, Jordan Heath, Eloise, and Kya Phelps with Addy in the front with her back to us.

 We also got to have cupcakes which was a huge hit!  The kids all thought the whole things was great.

On her actual birthday, Eloise wanted to have all the cousins over.  She had so much fun getting gum and lip gloss and a new baby and bed and a puppy that walked!  She was playing with cousins all afternoon and evening and I somehow didn't get a picture the entire night.  I somehow missed getting a picture of her cake, another pink shark one.  Eloise was in dreamland all day and ate up all the attention and happiness.

Eloise is a very sweet, methodical, informative little girl.  She loves to sing and dance and doesn't mind if she has an audience.  She is a little nurturer and is always keeping an eye on Adeline.  She is quick to inform someone if anything seems amiss.  Eloise loves to color and I don't think she knows how to color without singing her little heart out.  She loves to wear dresses and play house.  She just learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels and is starting to learn her ABCs.  Her prayers are the sweetest, some of my favorite lines have been, "thank you for not making me hit my sister," and "please bless that we won't have any bad dreams,"  and "please bless mom won't be mad and have bad dreams."  She has just started finishing her prayers the way the rest of us do, but for the longest time she would end them, "in the Christ of Jesus amen."  We are so lucky to have her sweet self in our home.
