Ella Turns 7

Here is some of the goodies I made for Ella's birthday party. I made chocolate covered marshmallows dipped in sprinkles and then topped with an m&m. They were really yummy!!

I made this cute banner that is hanging up with the help from my friend Sara. It is made of fabric and ric rac. I sewed it all by myself. It was really cute and I was so excited. As a party favor for the girls Sara made cute hair clips made out of the same fabric. The girls loved them.

Ella with her new arm warmers that she got for her birthday. She is in heaven wearing them and hasn't taken them off. I also made the shirt that she is wearing with the help from Sara. I did do all the work she was there to coach me. :)
Here are the girls eating the marshmallows and holding the flowers that they made. We also played Bingo and played name that tune.

It was 7 years ago that I went into labor to have our precious daughter Ella. I will never forget that moment when I looked at her for the first time I was overwhelmed with so much love for her and knew that Heavenly Father had blessed our life with such a special little girl. Ella, you have been such a blessing to us and we are so lucky to have you for a daughter. I love that you are so happy and full of energy and that you laugh all the time. I love that you sing all the time from primary music to Hanna Montana. I love that you touch your upper lip and rub it when you are sleepy and when you wake up. You are such a peace maker and show so much concern for others. I love you with all my heart and know that I made the right decision to be a mom. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Thanks for being such a beautiful daughter inside and out and for making my life such an adventure!!! You are such a fancy, fun loving, fabulous, magnificent, one of a kind little girl and I am lucky to be your mother :) :) :)
