Happy Birthday Ellie!

The celebration has already begun .... I brought lunch to Ellie's school and ate with her class in the cafeteria .. which she thought was pretty cool!  She wanted me to stay for outdoor recess, but I told her the kids wouldn't like it if I hogged a swing on the playground!  So tonight is pizza for dinner with birthday cake, presents and calls from family to mark this grand occasion.

Taking time to remember when this grown-up seven-year-old wasn't such a big girl.  And how very much we have to be thankful for!!
