isabella ann turned EIGHT!
this little girl loves to read --
thus, her birthday party theme was "book worms" and books!
she received books, books, and gift cards for more books.
her birthday was on a sunday and
grandma and grandpa were here to help make the day special.
we started with a treasure hunt.
these three were all over the yard & house, searching for
cute little books with the next treasure clue.
i believe she collected 26 books that day!
of course, sophia & leif received a "treasure" too.
ready to go to church in her new big-girl dress.
these two girls LOVE each other :)
after church we had her choice of dinner:
tacos, red peppers, & chips.
more presents, more presents!
she was beyond thrilled with her
red "dress-up" -- simply adorable!
time for the big surprise:
a new beach cruiser bicycle!
ms. ella's birthday was a lot of fun
for the whole family!
our family is beyond blessed by this little girl
who is getting so big.
she reads uncontrollably.
like, all of the time. even when she should not.
she can recite what she has read word for word.
want details on queen elizabeth? ask ella.
how about helen keller? ask ella.
her favorite books are the "who was __?" series.
she has read all of the scripture story books
and KNOWS the scripture stories.
ella's special day - BAPTISM -

a very special day for a priceless princess.
love you forever isabella,
mommy
