Ella turns 2!

Ella,

You were ready to be 2 for at least a month before your birthday. Your daddy and I started asking how old you were in July and getting you to say 2. You are now a pro at it. Ella your love for life is contagious. You wake up happy and go to bed happy. You love to play all day long. Your favorite toy these days is minnie mouse. She is with you every minute of the day. If she isn't, it doesn't take long to notice that you don't have her. We lost her recently and you didn't sleep well at all that night. You talk to her and she does everything you do. You also love to read. You read daily and your favorite book is the Bible. You pretend or fake read in your rocking chair. Your other favorite books are Pete the cat and Tickle monster. You know that the Bible is about Jesus and you know that God's way is Perfect! You love to sing. Some of your favorites are Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Bibbidi Bobbidi boo, Mickey mouse march, The wheels on the bus, The itsy bitsy spider, Jesus loves me, God is so Good, I've got a dream-tangled. Ella you also love to color. That is why we had an art party for your birthday. Your favorite breakfast food is muffins. It is the first thing you ask for when you wake up. Mickey mouse, Toy story, Curious George and Tangled are your favorite shows/movies to watch. You love playing with mom and dad's phone. You also are really good at navigating on the Ipad. You love pretending, playing in your kitchen and with your babies. You are excited about being a big sister. You are getting lots of practice with your cousin Ross and Paisley. You love doing absolutely anything with your daddy. Playing hide and seek with him is probably your favorite. You love to play in mom's make up drawer and pretend to get ready while I get ready. You love to talk to people in the grocery store. You usually end the conversation with "see ya next week." You say excuse me, please, and thank you. You have a turtle named crush. You love going to church and Gymboree play and learn. You also love to look at pictures and videos of yourself.

Your dad and I are so thankful for each day we get with you. We count it as a gift. Our prayer is that one day you will trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We pray that you will love people and that your love for life will only grow as you get older. We pray for boldness, strength, and favor as you live your life. I love you to the moon and back and back again Ella Reese!!!!
