Chef Lettie



A few weeks ago, Lettie took a cooking class at Young Chef Academy. She had a great time and learned to cook some pretty neat things. Last night Lettie cooked dinner for us and it was DELICIOUS! We had southwest chicken egg rolls with avocado ranch dipping sauce...YUMMY! She did a great job. She even let Ella help! It was so good and there were no leftovers.

Ella Turns Five!





It is hard to believe that my baby has turned 5! She had a very exciting birthday that was celebrated over several days.
Granny, Emmie and Ellerie came to Georgia so that they could be at Ella's pool party. Ella has always wanted a pool party. Now that we have a pool in our neighborhood...she finally got her wish. Granny made a wonderful Minnie Mouse cake. Not only was it so cute...but it tasted delicious too! It was so sweet of them to make the trip. It was a little chilly but the kids (and Jason and Vanessa) swam anyway. I think everyone had a great time. When the swimming was done we offered Minni Mouse face painting!
On her actual birthday we all went to the American Girl Doll Store. She asked for the big Just like Me doll for her birthday. She was so proud.
It is hard to believe it has been five years but I am so glad God gave us this wonderful bundle of energy and excitement. Ella definitely keeps things interesting in this house!
