Ellen is 7!

We let Ellen choose a friend party or a family party this year. She chose to go out to eat as a family. We had lots of fun.

Ellen loves school and was so upset to miss a day last week when I had to take her to get her ears checked. Ear infection. One day absent.

She is a sweet older sister, and sometimes bossy, but she loves to teach her siblings what she knows. She loves crafts, and asked for art supplies for her birthday.

Ellen is creative and independent, and very kind.

She's so grown up. Sigh.
