Crazy Fun Sleep !

We had a crazy weekend! We could not have packed one more thing into our schedule.  However, after it was all said and done, my kids slept through the ENTIRE NIGHT in their OWN BEDS for the first time since August.  So if you ask me if I will ever pack so much into a weekend again...

Friday Night:
Ellison - Birthday Sleepover at Aunt Ashley's house
The rest of us - Redo of Ellison's Room for her Birthday

Saturday:
Continue Redo of Room
Tim's Derby Party
Spencer's Graduation Party (in St. Pete)

Sunday:
Trip with Nana to Clearwater to see Winter, the dolphin, for Ellison's Birthday    
Lunch with Nana
Brantley's Birthday Party in Sarasota
Ellison's Birthday Celebration with my side in Winter Park

Monday:
Disney
All Saints Art Festival

I SURE WILL!!!!

Last year Ellison's birthday goal was to climb trees.  5 years old and her goal has been accomplished!

This is his "pout" walk.

Ellison had watched Dolphin Tale with Nana last year  and has been looking forward to this trip ever since!

This made their day!

Ellison loved the card from Olivia.

Wondering where his gift is?

So blessed to have these two love each other so much!

Happy Birthday to Ellison!

Ellison is 5!!!!  I feel like she should be turning 9. This is not due to long days and years, in fact life has moved rather fast.  However, the facts are that Ellison is advanced in speech, very tall for her age (tallest girl in school), and acts (for the most part) like she is at least 6.  In fact, I recently had a stand off with a mother at the park due to her not believing that Ellison was actually 4.

I have to say one thing, I am so proud of my little girl.  She is bright, funny, sweet, sensitive, artistic, and beautiful inside and out.

Ellison, you are a gift. Thank you for bringing so much joy and peace into my life.  I love you!

The Doctor said Ellison was the loudest baby he had ever heard!
