Ella Shae is already 5, a whole hand! Our little girl is growing up and is sure a cutie pie. We love her dearly. Here are 5 things we LOVE about our Ella.
1. Ella is a girlie girl! Her princess acting, dancing, and singing are SO cute. When her little sister Evey dresses up she exclaims, "Evey, you look so DAZZLING!" Emery even asked, "Ella, what does Dazzling mean?"
2. Ella has the cutest voice. I love it in all it's forms (except for the ear piercing temper tantrum screaming :) from when she is reading to herself, or singing to her sister, or dramatic playing with her barbies and pollies, or her little giggle AND ofcourse I absolutely love her lisp that is noticeable on words with the letter "s". I am not wanting her to grow out of that one yet! When she was 18 months and she wanted food badly she would call from her high chair, "thum, thum, thuma, thuma," (some, some, some) rapidly until we put food on her tray..it was totally hilarious! You should see her when she sings one of her favorite songs, Ariel's "Part of your world". The part that says, "I've got hoosits and what's it's galore. That is a mouth full of "s's".. so her tongue is very prominent and hard at work! It is the cutest thing!
3. Ella is very beautiful inside and out. Those gorgeous eyes of hers melt me..don't worry, I can still discipline..phew! She has the personality to match her looks.
4. Ella plays well and is happy. Ella has a great time entertaining herself and infact sometimes wants to play on her own. I never worry about her being bored. She is great at occupying her time and is always finding something exciting to do.
5. Ella is very bright. She is catching on to things quickly. She has started to read and loves that she can recognize all the letters. She has fun learning from her big brothers about math and other things in school. She also remembers the lyrics to songs very well. Her primary chorister said that if she, herself forgot the words, she would look to Ella who was singing her heart out to remember them. I love how dramatic she gets when she sings..her hands to her heart, or wide open eyes, or twirling..just love it..it's a show everyday!

We love you Ella! Mel - your tribute was perfect! I was laughing thinking of her singing The Little Mermaid song with her cute, cute lisp. What a very special little girl you have. Luke couldn't ask for a dearer little friend. She is so special to all of us!
She sure is a sweetheart, but she comes by it naturally! I love how you celebrate birthdays at the Hancock house! What special memories! Happy Birthday Ella!
Oh my goodness! Look at that A-DOR-A-BLE cake! You should to into the business. You do such a wonderful job! I love your cake decorating skills! Just remember, Bentley's is in June and Kasen in July! So try and keep those months open just for me!
Looks like she had a super fun day! She is such a doll Melanie. I think I have told you this a gazillion times, but she is adorable. What a good job you did. She is so lucky to have such a talented mommy like you!
Happy Birthday, sweet Ella Shae! What a fun day for her. Our little girls are simpley growing up too fast. I loved your descriptions of her - her dancing, lisp, eyes, and dramatic flare, we love your little girl! Claire is missing her desperately. I just love the cake - you are so dedicated to celebrating special occasions with pizzaz. Hey, is that a new table? Yay, I am sure you were excited to get that! Sure love you guys, and can't wait to see you in March!
My goodness Mel! You are the greatest Mom at birthdays!!! I love the adorable mermaid cake! You do such a wonderful job of making your kids birthdays so fun for them! Ella IS such a beautiful girl! When she turns 16 you'll be wishing she wasn't quite so gorgeous looking! I LOVE the pic of her with her new Ariel and Eric barbies (Madi would just go crazy over those!) What a darling smile! Oh and I love all of her so simple meal requests, anything she wants and it's Frosted Flakes and chicken nuggets! What a sweetie!
What a cutie pie! That cracks me up that she would want to walk the schofields dog as a special birthday activity! :) And I especially love her excited face with the prince eric and princess ariel dolls...she wasn't excited or anything was she?
...and as always...your cakes are amazing!
Wow that cake is amazing! What a cute girl Ella is. We sure love her!
What a perfect princess! I can't believe your a whole hand! Happy Birthday Ella!
Yes - she is the cutest little birthday girl! I love all the sweet things you love about Ella and agree - her lisp, her big eyes swinging and twirling, her creativeness, loving princess things...and all the other things.
Again, great job on the cake - looks fabulous!
I also love that picture of her rubbing her hands together with her tongue sticking out waiting for her presents - what a cutie.
Happy Birthday sweet Ella!
