Ellie's 8th Birthday

Monday was Ellie's 8th birthday. And what a day it was. The poor girl was sick and had to stay home from school. She still managed to make the best of it. She's such a good girl and doesn't let little things like being sick ruin her day. She somehow managed to enjoy it and let us enjoy it with her.


She seemed to be feeling better as the day went on. Then, just as I was putting the candles on her cake, she ran to the bathroom to throw up. She never even had a piece of her cake. Of course, she could still smile. What a good girl we've been blessed with.
We hope you still had a good birthday, Ellie, and we're so excited for you to be baptized next month. It's been a great 8 years!

What a pretty cake, Ellie-just like you! Tell your mom you can practice the wedding tradition just this once and freeze your cake for you to enjoy later! =)

Happy Birthday Ellie! I can't believe she is 8! Amber, you have an 8 year old! We are all sick today, so hopefully we're all getting this sick business out of the way before Christmas!!

Ellie is absolutely beautiful! I think she looks a lot like her mommy. :) It's been a LONG time - I hope your family is doing well. I love looking at the pictures of your kids. Also, I didn't realize you had an Ellie when we named our newest addition Ellie :) Great minds think alike I guess.
