Ellie is 8!

Ellie turned 8 this year. This is an especially exciting birthday for her, since she was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We were so lucky to have Rusty's parents home from their mission (Scotland) just in time to come. Tony, Natalie, Ava and Alex came. Liz, Charlie and family came. Joy and Jay came. We had a full, fun house! Thanks for helping to make Ellie's birthday awesome! She was baptized that morning, then we all went to lunch at In'N Out. Then off to the mall per Ellie's request! She got to go to Build-a-bear and choose an animal. And she got her ears pierced! What a fun day!

Beautiful Ellie!

Ellie and Rusty

Happy Birthday Ellie!
