Happy Birthday, Ellie!

Posted in Birthdays


Happy 8th Birthday to our sweet princess, Ellie! She is all girl, and she loves all things pink and anything having to do with princesses! The Lord really blessed our family when He gave us our little girl, and we thank Him everyday for such a special and precious gift!
Happy Birthday Ellie! We love you!


Below are several photos from her birthday party at the church yesterday. Elisabeth made the 'Little Mermaid' cake, and she and Erin also planned an
'under the sea' treasure hunt...the treasure being small beach balls, sunglasses, and leis.


The cake...by Elisabeth!

Blowing out the candles!

Mama (me) and the birthday girl! Behind us you can see a picture Elisabeth drew and painted of Ariel to put above the gift table!


Below is a 'too cute' photo of John, Timothy, and Jarrett after the treasure hunt...aren't they some cool dudes? LOL

A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!

I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
