Elsie's 5th Birthday!

Elsie turned 5 in February! Where is the time going? The past 5 years have seriously flown...it seems like we just brought Elsie home from the hospital! We love Elsie! She brings so much life and energy to our family and home. She is still our Elsie bear with the most lovable cuddly affectionate side and then the fiesty temper side. She is a good sister and loves and admires her big sister Adelyn and then is a little mommy to little brother Cohen. Cohen and Els are with each other a lot and Elsie plays with him, teaches him things and for the most part they really get along well...just this morning Cohen said "where's Elsie? I miss her!" Elsie still surprises us with her drawings and her creativity. She is liking reading and has a desire to learn. She's still the slowest eater when it comes to dinner and fastest when it comes to ice cream. She loves animals, especially our cat Maddie and her pet guinea pig Smores. We love our Elsie! Happy Birthday!

Of course you can't start our your special day without breakfast in bed!
