Ella is 6

I can't believe she is six already?! We celebrated the day with a birthday party for another girl, Emma (who let her share blowing out her candle and they sang happy birthday to both of them), followed by a dance show (Ella's 2nd, Lucy's 1st), then bowling at the Crystal Bowl, pizza, then ice cream cake and presents with Grandpa's and Grandma's. It was an extra long day since Ella woke up at 6:00 coughing, but it was a good day. Even Ella say, this has been a busy day. :)
She got some great toys and clothes and a new camera of her own (well, sort of her own...Lucy has butted in :) that was a big hit. It was a wonderful day. Ella said the other day, I'm so glad I'm six. She also said she was sad 2009 was over. I was kind of thankful. :)

Lucy dance in her first show and was quite the little ham. I wasn't sure if she would know what to do or where to go, but she bopped right on down there with NO hesitation. LOVED it! We'll never keep her off the stage. :)

Don't get any ideas Pete......
