Happy 8th Birthday Ella

I was telling Ella that she liked to hide in my bedroom under the pillows and when I would find her she would get so excited and start laughing. Here is one of the very many that I have of her doing just that :)
Ella loved to dress herself and I loved seeing what she would put on. She had fashion at a very young age :)
Here she is taking her baby out :)
I just love this picture!
Ella loved going to Grandma and Grandpa's house and sitting in the sink in the laundry room.

Ella found curtain rod holders and put them on her ears as earrings :)

She put her own make up on and did her own hair and dressed up like my Ella Bella Cinderella :)
I came in the room and Ella was listening to music and was so happy that she was alone (or at least she thought she was) just enjoying the moment
I just love her sweet smile and love how little she is. I adore her.
Ever since Ella was little she just knew how to take care of babies. Here she is taking care of 3 or 4 at a time. Can you see that she is telling the baby to Shhhhhh and patting her doll? So cute. She is so great with kids and they love her.

Below is Ella's 2 year old picture.

Can my little girl already be 8? I can't believe how much she has grown and it feels like yesterday that I was just having her. Time flies and they grow up so fast. Ella, I am the luckiest mother in the world to have been blessed with you! You are the sweetest little girl and so full of life. You are happy all the time and have such a sweet tender heart. Everyone who knows you can't help but love you and you make our life greater than anything. What an honor to be your mother. Here are a few pictures that I wanted to share from when she was younger. I absolutely love every single picture of her and they show just how happy she is and still is.
