On March 29th our little firstborn turned 6! Eleanor is smart, an excellent student who has recently learned to read. Her memory and powers of observation amaze me sometimes! She creates beautiful artwork and does well in her music class. But what I love and appreciate about her more than all those things is her sweet, kind, and thoughtful spirit. I love to watch her play with her brothers and friends - including, sharing, and encouraging. She asks some wonderfully deep questions about the Lord and about the Gospel of Christ. She believes and loves all that she understands about Jesus. I am so thankful that God blessed us with Eleanor!
Her birthday celebrations were quite drawn out this year! We started out the weekend before by sharing ice cream sundaes with Papa Steve and Mimi Gayle, Uncle Andrew and Aunt DeDe.

Her Mimi Gayle took her to Build-A-Bear for the first time! She returned with the now beloved "Doxie."
On her actual birthday I baked cinammon rolls and snapped this photo.

The following weekend we celebrated with Papa Rod and Mimi Ruthie, Uncle Andrew and Aunt DeDe, and her dear friends Abby and Hannah. We had cake and ice cream, opened gifts, and spend a fun afternoon at the penny arcade!
The week after that, I made these adorable (if I must say so myself!) cupcakes to take to a little celebration in her T-TH kindergarten class. After working on them late Monday night, we woke up the next morning to...a snow day! School was canceled and the cupcakes did not survive a whole week. So this past Monday night, you can guess what I did again! The boys and I loved taking the cupcakes to her class, reading a story she chose to all the kindies, and observing part of their morning routine.
The parties are over til next year!
