Ellie’s 6th Birthday!

It’s crazy to think that we moved here shortly before Ellie turned 2.5 and now she is 6!

She is nearing the end of her third year of Kindergarten (in the equivalent of American Kindergarten this year) and her German is near perfect. She adores her younger brothers. Is such a big helper to mom and dad. She loves fashion, picking out her own clothes, her brothers, and suggesting outfits for mom. She’s a holy, smart, brave kiddo!



We spent the two days before her birthday in Vienna on the school trip.



On Friday afternoon we visited the Natural History Museum and watched a dinosaur movie!



On Saturday after Mass, we were off to Mariahilfer Str. for the moment Ellie has been waiting many months for — getting her ears pierced!!

Before:



After:



She did amazing!!! Barely tearing up as the sweet woman did one ear and then the other. 

We celebrated afterwards with Dunkin Donuts!! It was a very American hour or so :)



Then we were off to the Aquarium. 



Ellie kept wanting to show Isaac her new earrings. 



He was more intrigued by ‘Baby Shark’!



The monkeys in the rainforest were pretty cool too!



On Sunday, her actual birthday, we had some of her Kartause friends over to celebrate!





There was a special guest appearance by the Ghost of Jacob Marley, Scrooge, and Bob Cratchit! Ellie was in the LCI’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ play last December and has been obsessed ever since. We often hear Ellie and Francis discussing if they saw Jacob Marley or Scrooge at Mass that day. So she was very excited by this surprise performance!





It was a great time celebrating our favorite 6 year old! ❤️
