Issue 231

Eight is Great!


I can't believe our baby is 8 years old! She started off her special day with breakfast in bed. Chocolate chip pancakes (gluten free of course) with strawberries and whip cream was her menu of choice. The day seemed to take forever to pass for her, while we did our Saturday chores, but finally it was time to party! Whitney came home from BYU for the weekend and we invited Jessie (her not boyfriend, boyfriend) to dinner. Pizza and pumpkin cake to go with the presents and ice cream. Ellie received many craft supplies to do what she does best, create! The other day I commented to her what a good artist she was. She answered, "When I was younger I wasn't very good at art, but know that I'm older, I'm better. I'm creative and smart!" Yes Ellie, you are creative and smart and friendly and spunky and curious and loving and about to get baptised!
