HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE DEAR!!! :)





Today is Ellie's birthday! YEA! BIG number 7!!!!!!!!!! How did our baby girl grow up so fast? We are so lucky to have Ellie in our family! Every year at Ellie's birthday I am reminded of how truly blessed we are that she is in our family. We almost lost this little girl when she was a baby! She was so sick when she was born and at 3 months old she underwent surgery because her liver, pancreas and gallbladder weren't working~ what a miracle that Heavenly Father blessed us with! I will eternally be grateful for priesthood blessings, skilled surgeons and Primary Children's Medical Center! We love her so much and she has added so much joy to our family! She has always had the greatest sense of humor and has been our little "fashion queen". She is the cutest, sweetest, smartest and most wonderful girl! We love her to pieces! Today she gets to take cookies to her class, get a crown and be sung to at school, then we are going to have her "Favorite" dinner-PIZZA!!! YUM! Then presents and cake! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLIE!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Birthday Ellie! You are a cutie. Leslie, about your post on my blog--die hard--it is true. I know that makes me super pathetic. I wish I had more self control or could play it cool--instead I have become sort of a creepy old lady obsessed with teen books. I wish I wasn't such a weirdo!

Time flies! It seems like yesterday we were there for her 4th b-day with the tug-of-war in the back yard, Grammie singing songs with the herds of kids etc. Do you remember that? I was big and prego with Eliza.
