lala turns six.

we had a birthday to start our week.
complete with pancakes and candles for breakfast.
dad got creative this year and added a chocolate smile.
this year Ella was unaware it was even going to be her birthday.
when I informed her a few days before it was a rush to count it down!
better to make it a short wait I say.
we do simple birthdays every other year, to keep mom sane and the pocket book in check.
this year we had some family over for homemade pizza and strawberry shortcake.
come to find out Ella meant she wanted Strawberry Shortcake the DOLL on her birthday cake. oops. but it was well received regardless. unfortunately mommy has a bad head cold and am less than sharp, so not all the calls were made to family to join us! oops again. that's OK - it's no trouble to do it again soon, sans the birthday song.
she was really expecting LOTS more family you know, ahem.
just so you know you are now all on notice!

I mean any opportunity to hear "noodle noodle" rock and see those fancy tricks on drums and guitar are welcome fun for any one, right!
good times and a great occasion to celebrate.
Happy Birthday Miss La.
so happy you joined our family.

Oh and PS - I must say that Matt & I very much miss Mz. Ella Bella's frog voice. It makes us laugh and smile when we think of the little creature that was, but we are sure happy for the BIG girl that we get to play with.

Happy Birthday from the Potters. I understand the family thing. As MaCall watched all of her friend's grandparents, cousins etc. come into the University chapel for Honor Orchestra she asked "why didn't any of our family come"?
