Ellie turns 12!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like we have been celebrating Ellie's birthday for the last two months. We are soo excited for our baby girl to be turning 12!
She got fancy road bike for her birthday and has gotten really good at riding it.
She also got some fun books and was able to go the county fair with her best friend and ride on all the dangerous carnival rides. They had a blast!
A few things I love about Ellie.....
Ellie is amazing: She never stops amazing me. She has been blessed with incredible brains, skills and talents in this life. There is really NOTHING that she can't do if she sets her mind to it.
The name Eleanor means LIGHT and I really couldn't think of a better name for her.
She truly shines!
Ellie is super creative and a great artist
Ellie is beautiful inside and out. She has a soft heart and looks for ways to be kind and serve others.
Ellie is responsible and loves to take charge and make things happen.
Ellie loves her brothers and sisters. I love to watch them all play together. She is the best older sister!
Ellie is a voracious reader. She simply devours books. We go to the library often and get piles and piles of books for her and we never have enough...
the best reward for Ellie is a NEW book. :D
Ellie has become a little chef. She makes us breakfast all the time and is always willing to whip up a little treat for us on Sunday afternoons. :D
Ellie is the glue that holds our little family together. I love her more than life and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. I am excited to watch her grow into a young lady, I have no doubt she will do great things and continue to amaze us everyday!
I love you Eleanor!
You have been the best daughter anyone could ever hope for.
(minus the first year, but that was probably due to a lack of communication. ;D )

THe requested carrot cake with cream cheese frosting!
A beautiful cake for a beautiful girl!
(hey! I did my best, cake decorating it NOT one of my talents.)
