Yes, I know, I'm delayed on starting back on the blog train, but I had a little bout with pneumonia.  I'm over it and I'm ready to start back the blog.  I thought I would start with Ella's 8th B-day.  I can't believe she is eight...an official tween.  We had a spa birthday party and kept it simple.  I think all the girls enjoyed making several spa items like chocolate milk bath, bath salts, and sparkly lotion.  We had facials and pedicures...so much girly fun.  Ella was able to share her story about her birth with her friends.  It was so precious! 

Ella also had a little family gathering.  She opened her presents and enjoyed some birthday cake.  It was a joy to watch!
