So Happy!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETEST ELLA!!

Can't believe it was seven years ago when this angel joined our family or better said, made us a family!!!



We are so grateful for all the happiness and joy she brings into our lives.

Seven (of infinite number of) things we absolutely love about ELLA:

1. She loves with all her heart and never fails to show it.

2. She is brave and never shy of a challenge.


3.  She is hard-working and determined.


4. She loves her Heavenly Father and Jesus and always strives to make good choices.

5. She has a great sense of humor and always makes us laugh.




6. Her smile and the sound of her laughter is pure music to our ears.

(These are all from... obviously the American Girl store where we went over the weekend to get THE present!!! Boy, this American Girl thing is serious business. And I thought Build-a-Bear was... pricey!!! Silly me!)
Now back to our list:

7. She is very talented and has a ton of interests.

I could just go on and on and on. Today I was able to go have lunch with the birthday girl and it just filled my heart with happy!!! We love you sweet girl, you make this life so wonderful!!!! Thank you for being, and for chosing us as your earthly parents.

After her piano lesson, we had a nice TV dinner of mint-cilantro lamb chops with mashed potatoes and red beet salad (this was Ella's dinner menu request) and Madagascar 3. We laughed so hard!!! We ended with the yummy yogurt blueberry cake. It was pure awesomeness. I had a have nice helping myself.



Awesomeness!! :)



I'm sneaking in a few pictures from the day before when her and Hrishi carved one of the pumpkins and from the day after when they carved another one and placed both on the front lawn. Cool!

(This girl loves to get her hands dirty. She must be taking after her momma who used to LOVE to gut and clean fresh fish back in the day. Not kidding!!)
(We toasted some of the seeds, they were yum!)
