Preschool Christmas Program

A couple weeks before Christmas Elle had her Preschool Christmas program. 

As I was getting ready I walked in my room and found her passed out, she must have needed a little power nap before the big show.



My beautiful girl all ready to go!


She was ready to sing loud and proud!



I had sent Eric up to church a good hour before the show started to save some seats, I was determined to get a prime seat to watch my girl!


They sang 4-5 Christmas songs and Elle did so great!



Her favorite song was "Joy to the World"


Her whole fan club was there waiting to hug, kiss and congratulate her after the show. 
So crazy to think it will be Ollie up there singing next year!



December 19th

To round out allll of Elle's birthday posts, here is how we spent the day of her birthday celebrating. Lord knows these babies deserve a week of celebrations!!

Cuddled up, watching the Rockettes with by baby girl the last night she is 4 years old. 


The next morning the birthday princess received breakfast in bed.


and obviously we started the day with presents!



Next we headed to the movie theater to see Ferdinand!
I don't know if they were more excited for the movie or the sour patch kids I bought them. 


After the movie we stopped at Mission Taco for a birthday lunch. 


After a stop at mom and dad's for Elle to open her birthday basket we headed to Von Maur to see Santa!!




Doing some shopping while the kids play at the train table.
This sweet girl, she is my world!!!!


While we were at the Meadows Elle and I stopped to check out the big Christmas tree while Eric and Ollie shopped some more.



We had a fun day celebrating our sweet baby girl.
5 years went by in a flash.

Elle's 5th Birthday Party

We celebrated Elle's 5th birthday at Cupcake Amore. It is a really cute Paris themed shop where the kids could decorate cupcakes. Since my girl loves Paris it was a no-brainer.

The morning of the party she was so excited!! She requested Little Ceasar's pizza so we stopped to grab that and balloons then we were headed to the party.





After pizza they brought out a couple crafts for the kids.
Decorate your own snowflake, and construct an Eiffel Tower out of marshmallows and toothpicks. The marshmallows were a big hit. :)

Look at Ollie sneaking eating the marshmallows instead of building with them.





After the little craft projects it was time to decorate their cupcakes...


and sing Happy Birthday to our sweet girl!






Next it was time for presents which Elle was so excited about!
She opened a pair of Welly Wisher rainboots to match her American Girl doll from Unc & Aunt Paige and she had the BEST reaction! She screamed with excitement!


Anything baby doll related is a favorite for Elle right now.




The newest member of the Hylton family, Liam.
A gift from the Voss family.
Elle is in LOVE!!


My beautiful birthday girl!!







Elle and her ladies!


We had to do a Target run that night and she somehow convinced me to let her bring her 2 babies and roll them in this new suitcase baby carrier she got from MawMaw and PawPaw. It was a long, slow trip through Target!

But such a fun day celebrating this smart, amazing, caring, beautiful little girl!!!

FIVE

It is so hard to believe that our little baby girl is now 5 years old. 



I have loved this girl for what feels like a lifetime. I can't remember life before her, her birthday was the absolute best day of my life. I already loved her something crazy but that day when I held her for the first time I was a goner. And somehow everyday since then my love for her has just grown.


She is my best friend, my sidekick, my sweetest girl.



Her favorite name to go by is Elle Belle.



She is in a HUGE baby doll faze right now. She loves playing in her room and taking care of all her babies. She pretends to give them baths, feeds them, changes their clothes. Her favorites right now are Ashlyn, Lily and Liam. 


She is an amazing big sister to Oliver and loves him so much!


She wants a pet cat SO BAD but Eric has told her we will never have a cat at our house. So now she tells us one day when she has her own house she will have 2 cats.
And she has started trying to talk us into getting her a pet fish since she can't have a cat. :)


She loves hotels and wishes that we lived in one.


Wants to be a teacher and a mom when she grows up. She just recently told me that she might also be a cook and hair stylist. She says she is going to have lots of jobs!


She is sassy, sweet and sensitive.


She has BIG opinions on her clothes. We go round and round on picking out her outfits.


She started fall soccer this year, ballet at school and wants to start doing gymnastics again.


She loves Little Ceasar's pizza and going on pizza runs with PawPaw is one of her favorite things.


She is our winter fairy.


and she says that "Piece of Me" by Britney Spears is her jam!


She thinks that growing up is taking forever but I couldn't disagree more. It is going by way too fast.


This girl is pure magic.


Happy 5th Birthday to the most beautiful, caring, smart, hilarious little girl in the world.
I love you to the moon and back, sweet girl. 100 times.
