Ella at 3.5 years

Our little Ella girl is 3.5 years old on Nov. 16, but seeing as how things are going to get rather busy with the holidays, I thought I'd post this a little early.  Ella at 3.5 years old is just a sweetie.  She continues to have a lovable personality & sweet laugh.  She is absolutely drawn to animals & they are to her also.  No matter where we go all the animals seem to take a special liking to Ella.  Ella loves to play dress up & has really gotten interested in art...especially if it involves My Little Pony, one of her favorites right now.  She also loves to read, this little girl would read all day if I had the time or patience for it.  She is a super girly, girl.  She continues to love Frozen (hence the new Elsa wand, in pics below) & one of her new favorite shows is Barbie & the Secret Door....this is a serious favorite & we often hear her singing "If I had magic" like Barbie does in the movie (although, I originally thought this might be too grown up for the girls, it's actually a very cute story & no relationship stuff, just unicorns, fairies, mermaids, & a princess....the girl's favorite things).  She sings almost constantly.  Be it to the radio in my car or to "Let it Go" around the house....she just loves music.  She also loves dancing & shaking her little bum.  She continues to follow Jessie around, but has blossomed into her own little self at school.  She is often "running the show" in her class & the other kids just love her.  When Ella leaves, lots of little friends run over to give her a hug.  She continues to be the more easy going of our kids & is more agreeable than her older sister & we are so thankful for an easier child!!!  She gives the sweetest little hugs.  So thankful for a healthy/happy 3 1/2 years with this little girl :)
