Elara was spoiled rotten. That is all. In the morning she got to go to her favorite open gym gymnastics with Connor. They had a blast. We came home and finished making her cake. Then, after school there was a fall festival at the kids school, so we took the kids there for her family birthday celebrations where the kids got their faces painted and played games and won prizes and had Grammy there with us. Then, for dinner she picked to eat at Bay Seas and Grandma and Grandpa arrived from Utah. So she had Grammy, Grandma, and Grandpa all with her for her special day. Thanks Kael for postponing your baptism so she could share grandparent time. :)
She got to go to the Pet Store and pick out a fish for one of her presents.
She named her Bloopy. Because fish say bloop bloop. Poor Bloopy only lasted a week, but she will always be remembered as a good fish and the epic melt down that Elara had that her fish was dead. It took a lot of convincing to let us flush that thing down the toilet and pick out a new fish.
Before the rainbow fell and my attempt to make a new 4 after it fell.

Dear Elara,
Happy Birthday! You are a smart cookie little girl! You are a dainty, sweet, kind little lady. Mom and Dad love you and are so lucky to call you ours! You love being 4. You love going to joy school even though you miss home. You are a great friend. You are kind to other kids and share and are thoughtful. You are a strong independent girl just like your sister Eden. You know what you want. You know how to get what you want, but you are polite and kind always. You are the best at saying please and thank you in our family right now and at putting your dishes in the sink. However, your toys are everywhere always. But, I am ok with that because you still love to play with everything. You are the sweetest girl who loves baby dolls, animals, playing dress up and pretend. You want to be a Mommy someday. Right now if you were able. You want a little girl someday and you want to name her Margaret and your next baby would be "eat me eat me I'm organic"... Thank you "Inside Out". haha
You love your animals. You love your new fish. You cried all day when I had to tell you that Bloopy your first fish died after a short week in our home. You were so sad because there would never be another fish just the exact same as Bloopy. You were right and I sat and we cried together. Your heart is so big. It took a lot of hugs and promises of a new fish to get you to give Bloopy a proper flush memorial. Dad took you to pick out Princess Vanilla and he got you an ice cream cone, thus the name Vanilla.
We love you Elara. We love everything about you. You are going to be an amazing Mommy one day and I promise to be the Grandma you keep telling me I'll be. Just slow down a little K.
We love you Princess! Always and Forever!
Love, Mom and Dad
