Ellie turns 5!!!

Believe it or not, our little Elizabeth turned 5 on February 6th! I still cannot believe it myself, but she reminds me everyday--"Mom, I know how to do (blank--insert ANYTHING!!), I am 5 now remember??" She is such a wonderful girl and we are so very blessed to have her a part of our family!!
For her 5th birthday, we gave her two options--Opt. 1--Disneyland, complete with a special Princess breakfast feast with our immediate family, or opt. 2--a Princess party with friends. It was a hard decision, but in the end, the lure of Disneyland won out! It was raining on her big day, but that didn't stop us, we bundled up and had a "Magical" day at the "Happiest Place on Earth!"
The Princess Breakfast at Ariel's Grotto
Ellie got to meet 5 of her favorite princesses--Snow White, Belle, Cinderella and Aurora (and of course Ariel!)

We stopped to goof around with Goofy and rode TONS of rides--Ellie even rode Space Mountain and the Matterhorn for her first time--she was so brave!!!

Our little Princess Ellie--Happy 5th Birthday!!

It looked like you had a lot of fun. Brooke asked if she can have her 6th birthday at Disneyland with Ellie. She loved all of the princesses. Maybe we should plan a huge birthday bash!
