Ellie is SEVEN

 Welp...another birthday during quarantine 😭😭 I really thought that we were going to be back to our lives by now, the kids could play together again, and that we could plan a party for Ellie.  Thankfully she has accepted whatever this is and was able to enjoy her birthday.


She wanted to spend her special day in Ellensburg, so we headed over the day before so we could wake up and have a wonderful day celebrating her and doing her favorite things: riding bikes and playing at parks.  If I took a guess at her top two love languages they would be: Receiving Gifts and Words of Affirmation.  Watching her grow and become who she is has been so perfect.

We got up in the morning, had doughnuts and opened her presents.  She was so excited about all of them and couldn't wait to test everything out...unfortunately we had to head back home because Thomas started feeling very unwell and needed to get into the doctor.  So we packed up all our stuff and made the drive home.  While Thomas was at his appointment, I got Ellie's tent all set up and ready to check out and play in.  It was a total hit for all three kiddos.  Thomas got back home (he ended up with a uti) and we finished up Ellie's birthday celebration.  We apologized to her for having to change our plans for the day and promised her we would return to The Grey Cottage as soon as we could.

a couple days later we made good on our promise and she got to go out fishing with Dada for her very first time! He said she did so well, was very careful and a good listener.  She caught her first fish with Dada's help and was just thrilled with the whole experience.


 
Sweet Ellie, I am so grateful for you.  You are kind, adventurous, a thrill seeker, silly, inquisitive, and personable.  You have a zeal for life and thrive off of being around others.  Your light shines when you are being praised and you are always wanting to have attention.  You are strong willed, sassy, and love to be in charge and ensure that rules are being followed, we call you "the enforcer".


I love you with all my heart.  Happy 7th Birthday my Ellie.

XOxo,
Ashley
