Happy 8th Birthday Ella!
Wow, 8 years! Sweet, loving, beautiful Ella.
You continue to remind all of us what is important
in life. You cherish every moment. You appreciate
all the beauty around you. Your smile lights up a room.
Your compassion and gentle spirit can move me to
tears in one moment, and then inspire me to do better
the next. You not only remind me to slow down
and enjoy life, but you make me actually want to slow down!
Ella, be brave. Be strong. Be confident.
God has such plans for you and has given you all
the tools you need. Continue to shine, to grow,
to lead, to love.
We love you our sweet, sweet angel ~
To celebrate Ella's birthday we decided to have a spa party!
We invited a great group of girlfriends and set out to
get all beautiful and then show it off with a little shopping
at the mall!
First stop: hair and nails at the salon ~
 |
| There was a lot of curling going on! |
 |
| 8 going on 18! |
 |
| Ella was so kind to invite her big sister along for the fun! |
 |
| Lunch break ~ |
 |
| What a great looking group of girls! |
 |
| Next stop: ice cream!! |
 |
| Finally, some shopping for everyone at Claire's Boutique |
Ella's favorite place to eat is Bravo, so that is where we
headed for an evening birthday celebration.
We were very lucky that Uncle Dean and Aunt Rachel were
visiting at the time. It made for an extra special celebration!
