Ellasen is 6!

Ellasen is 6 years old today! She is 6 going on 16. She is so grown up sometimes it makes me cringe a little at how quickly the time is flying by us. Ellasen is funny, sweet, kind, helpful, smart and sassy. She loves her sisters and spending time with her family. She is so creative, and she will often think of new and fun ways to play with us and the twins. She makes up games all the time. She always wants to "make a deal", attempting to trade 15 minutes of watching the twins for getting to stay up 15 minutes later or trading 3 more bites of dinner for 3 chocolate chips. She can be goofy one minute and serious the next. This year she is having a rainbow themed birthday at a trampoline park called Get Air. We are all super excited to celebrate this sweet little pea!
