Ella turns 9

I can't believe that my baby is 9 years old already.  I know, I know I say that every time any of my kids celebrate a birthday but, I feel that way every time.  I can't help it.  They are all growing up too fast.  Next thing you know they will be moving out of the house. 

We celebrated Ella's birthday after Nate got home from work.  It was really hard for her to have to wait that long for Daddy to get home.  She got everything that she asked for.  She got a new outfit, nail polish, books, a skylander, and Just Dance 4.  For her cake she wanted coconut lime cupcakes.  They turned out very good too.

Ella is getting so big.  She is in the 3rd grade.  She is now in senior primary.  She loves to sing,dance, and write books.  She likes talking on the phone and just talking in general.  Luckily she has never grown out of the wanting to cuddle phase.  She likes to play cards and to play outside.  She is an excellent climber and will spend many hours climbing trees.  She likes to play outside rain or shine, summer or winter.  She is a happy girl that brings much joy to her family.
