Ella turns 6 and graduates Kindergarten!

 Can it be true?  Baby Ella (yes I still call her that) turned 6 on Wednesday!  I seriously cannot believe how big she is getting.  She's growing so much and getting so smart.  She had a jam packed fun filled day starting from the time she woke up.  She had streamers from her door, banners up in the kitchen and pink pancakes.  She got to go to school and get a Powerade from her teacher and I brought the class mini doughnuts and Sprite.  She was so excited to have Alissa sit at her table with her.

After school she had a friend birthday party with 9 of her friends. We played games, ate cupcakes, hit a pinata and just had a lot of fun.  We are really blessed to have such great neighbors and friends.

After the party we headed to Leo's for another party with my siblings and grandparents.  The kids will have no problems sleeping tonight.  What a fun day!!

Ella has become a really great reader!  She is getting a lot more brave to be in front of people.  She is super compassionate toward others and always wants to stop and give the beggar on the corner some money or send clothes or food to the people on TV that have little.  She is a friend to all and every time she prays she asks for help to be kind.  She is an great help to me with her baby sisters and she loves being the biggest.  I am so grateful Heavenly Father sent this sweet girl to be a part of our family.  She is an amazing little 6 year old!

Discovery Elementary had a cute little Kindergarten Graduation program.  Here they are winking in one of their little songs they learned.
