Our best girl turned five a few days ago! As I look back through the pictures I took, she suddenly looks so much older to me now. Like she aged a few years overnight. Where has the time gone, and how do I make it stop?!
We started the day by doing at-home church and finished the afternoon and evening with the Taco Fajita Fiesta she requested. During dinner, we all took turns saying our favorite thing about Eleanor, which is a new birthday tradition I can’t wait to continue.
Our favorite things about Eleanor
- how funny she is
- how she brightens our lives
- the way she is such a sweet mother hen to Henry
- how good she is at riding her bike (—Everett)
- the way she is so quirky and unapologetically Eleanor in the very best way

We finished the night with the Chocolate Banana Pudding she requested as her birthday dessert, and it was delicious. I’m already trying to think of an excuse to make it again soon!
Happiest of birthdays to you, Eleanor Joan—I love you more than I could ever say!
