How is she turning 6 today? I want to stay in bed in the fetal position all day just thinking about how fast time flies by. Rest assured, I’m up making the birthday girl a fabulous breakfast before school. You know my heart though. 🙂
This shy, reserved little girl is totally coming into her own. I remember when she was in the two-year-old class at preschool her teachers would say that some days she didn’t talk at all!! She was never like that at home. Ever. But I love that this girl is maturing and has a voice! Sometimes her brothers would prefer for her to keep that voice to herself. Ha!
She is a girls-girl for sure! Give her some accessories, a fancy dress, and nail polish and she’ll be happy for days! These girls have such a fun relationship. I love seeing how excited they are to see each other after being apart only a day! Sometimes six sounds so old, but then she’ll run in and tell me, “Kensington has a runny nose because she’s allergic to the POLLEM”. And I’m reminded that six is still so little. 🙂
She has this guy wrapped around her little finger. Today he’s going to be the Watch Dog at her school. She is beside herself!! Just two nights ago, she told Tab that her tummy hurt. He let her sleep in our room and I kind of gave him a look when I saw it happening. He said, “She said her tummy hurts, but maybe she played me”. hahahaha! #wrapped
She can also hang with the boys. God definitely knew what he was doing when he made her the oldest, that’s for sure. She likes to boss her younger brothers around anytime they’ll let her. But she absolutely adores them.
She has the sweetest little caring heart. She’s artistic and loves doing any kind of craft. As sad as I am that she’s growing up, this age is so fun. She “gets” jokes and is super funny! And…the girl has some killer dance moves.
I love this girl to the moon and back. I’m so glad God made her mine!
We’re celebrating today ALL DAY LONG! We have a fun birthday party planned tonight and the party continues all weekend with family in town and Nixon’s birthday in just three days!

Happy 6th birthday sweet girl!!! My little boy is 5 months today and I'm wondering where that time went! It flies by!
Thank you so much!!! You're so right! It flies by! 🙂
Oh my gosh! This totally made me tear up. I remember the day Ebby Lee was born so well! Whitney and I were there with our baby girls just so excited to meet your girl! Sometimes it takes my breath away when I think about you emailing me from your 3rd grade classroom to my office at SF…both of us lamenting about how we thought we would never get pregnant. God knew the whole time. He knew. We couldn't have fathomed what he knew at that moment. The six blessings in store for us are almost too good to be true. Happy birthday sweet Ebby Lee! You could not be more precious. I love your big heart, sweet smile, easy going personality, and your humor (boy that kid is funny!). We love you E!! xoxo
Awe!!! Your sweet comment made me tear up! All before 6:05!! I remember too! We were two super hormonal non-preggos who were doing everything to have a baby!! We were a mess!!! Thankful for our crew of six! 😘😘
What a beautiful post! Erika, I hope Ebby Lee has an amazing birthday! She is a beautiful little girl!
Aww! Happy Birthday, Ebby Lee!! Great post, mama!!
I only have one child who will be 8 in less than a month. It is so bittersweet.
Happy birthday Ebby Lee! May God pour an abundance of blessings on you always.
Happy Birthday sweet girl!!! My oldest turned 6 in December and it was very hard to see how fast they grow up, but exciting to see how much they have learned in those short years. My middle child turns 4 on Saturday so we are in full party mode this weekend with family. Enjoy!!!

I have read your blog for a while now but I wanted to comment today because this post was too sweet! I felt like I was reading about myself and Kensington and her, my best friend and I. Today we are 21 and my best friend and I met at church, went to school together and today we are 1000 miles apart at school but still so close! I pray The Lord blesses her life and relationships. What a sweet family you have!
Happy 6th Birthday to your sweet and beautiful girl! She is just gorgeous and her happiness and personality shine through in all of your pictures of her!Hope you have a great day and weekend celebrating Ebby lee!!!
