Our baby girl celebrated her fifth birthday (Geburtstag) two weeks ago!
On the eve of her birthday she went to sleep on the TOP bunk of the bunk bed in the hostel in Vienna and when she woke up she was 5! Out and about in Vienna, she went to Café Central and the children's museum ZOOM with Brian and Francis.

When she got back to Gaming, my mother (her NeNe), Isaac and I had her birthday cupcakes waiting!
The week leading up to her birthday she had off from school, along with all the other Austrian children, for ski week! She and her friends went to ski school each morning instead! By the fourth day she had mastered going down the bunny slope all by herself. She's now a pro at keeping her skis in "Pizza Stück"!
A month before her birthday, upon her request - so she could look more like her friends at school! - I finally cut her hair! She loves it and I love that washing and brushing it is much easier - it was sad to part with those baby curls tough!

Her favorite present: PJ Masks dress-up clothes for herself, Francis, and Isaac!
Isaac is ready to join them as Gekko, but he'll need to get a little bigger, here he is on February 12...
A couple of days after her birthday, we celebrated with her friends! Ellie decorated the cake all by herself!!
This past week we got to celebrate Ellie's birthday at Kindergarten! It's amazing watch her speak in German to all of her classmates and teachers! Thankfully, she still speaks in English to us :)
Ellie with her wonderful teacher, Ms. Regina!
Ellie brought chocolate chip (from America!) cookies for everyone!
She got to eat her snack next to her best buddy, Elijah!
NeNe got to be there for the special celebration!
We're so proud of our little Austrian princess :) God bless you, Ellie!!
