6

At 5 o'clock yesterday Elise turned 6!

She had a fun filled day beginning with a half-day dance camp...

When David got home from work (he came home early, just for her!) she opened her presents and then we headed to her restaurant of choice- IHOP.



Here is the birthday girl modeling her new fall accessories....lots of navy and white for her new school!






Some "big girl" riding boots, which she had admired last fall. They will be adorable with her khaki skirts in the fall. She was very excited about these!

David and I also decided that she was old enough to recieve a special birthday gift this year, and so we started her a James Avery charm bracelet, with a little schoolhouse charm to mark her beginning kindergarten in the fall. My parents got her a swimmer charm to add to it, and David's parents got her a happy birthday charm! She is also going to add the ballet slippers she recieved on her first ballet recital- the bracelet is filling up already!




Then we headed to IHOP to meet Emmy and Pop and eat lots of pancakes!




Some more modeling after we got home...



Obsessed with her scarf, boots, headband, and crew cuts dress!


Then SuSu and G and some special friends, the Bristers and the Mills, came over to sing one more time!



And, along with some other goodies, Elise got her very own copy of Charlotte's Web. We can't wait to start reading it together.



Her "real" birthday cake.



Candles out! Hope all of her wishes come true!




Jacob and Myrt enjoyed the cake and ice cream as well!




I'd say she had a very, very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!


We love you, Elise. Seriously can't believe you are 6 years old!!
