Ella is 12!

Our beautiful, talented, humble and SWEET firstborn turned 12!  

Thanks to all who sent her love on her birthday!

We did our best to make her have a great day!!

 Lots of "rose" themed gift bags!  :)

Her request for a date: lunch at Subway and open one gift there!
(She didn't mind at all that baby sister tagged along)

sledding in the afternoon.
It always cracks me up the way ALL the animals
want to be involved with the kids when they are outside!
This is akin to Bev Doolittle's paintings: Can you spot 3 mini horses and a dog?
The cats were out there too!  :)
