Today begins Ella's 5th birthday celebration! It was her special day at preschool and though parents are not invited, our cameras are, so here are some pictures she came home with:

On a child's birthday, quite a bit of class time is dedicated to singing to them and telling their story. Ella got to stand in front of the class for one of the birthday songs. In it she had to count out her 5 years. We are also told to send pictures of our child through the years, so she can show her friends and teachers how she's grown..
Other activities to make Ella feel special include handing out a fun birthday snack and a little present for everyone. Ella decided she wanted to share her very favorite treat with the class-- Puppy Chow. Yesterday we melted chocolate and peanut butter, poured it over the Crispex and shook it in the bag with some powdered sugar. We also stuffed jungle animal goodie bags with safari stickers, animal stamps and pads of paper.
She had a hard time falling asleep last night and was up with an early-rising, running Daddy this morning. Ella was so excited for her school birthday!
