My Little Miss is Six!!

I cannot believe that Elliette is 6! She is still such a tiny girl. She at times has introduced herself and says "I'm 6 but most people think I'm 4." She is such a funny girl and is always going! I think that she just falls down immediately to sleep when she stops going for just a second!  She is totally goofy, that is obvious by these pictures.  She just loves to be silly!  She always comes up with the most interesting thoughts and I just love to be able to see the world from her perspective. 

She can be the most social kid but at times my most shy one as well.  Today at church it was very funny as Elliette was sitting next to a lady that she didn't know.  The girls are often sad that we have the rule that they have to sit with their family, as they want to sit next to a few of the ladies that have become adopted grandmas to them.  Well today Elliette was disappointed again by this rule as we made her come back and sit with us.  But right next to us was the Relief Society president.  Elliette instantly started chatting to this lady, cuddling up next to her and holding her hand.  She kept announcing to me what her name was, she invited her to her 7th birthday, etc.  She was very well behaved during church and it was so cute to see her make a new friend.  So sometimes she is very social. 

I just can't say enough how funny this little miss is!  Here is a glimpse!

She asked for a snowman cake.  She helped me to make the chocolate snowmen and the big one on the top!

I absolutely love these pictures!  They show enough of the goofiness of the kids and a bit of the craziness that it is to have 8 kids here 9 and under.  Entertaining, definitely!  Loud, you bet!  Lots of laughing and tears, always!  This is the life of our family!
