Somehow in the flurry of activity around our Tofino trip, I forgot to post a little bit about Ella's birthday. It was pretty special for her to celebrate in a little cottage by the ocean, but of course this special girl deserves some extra recognition. She actually had several celebrations, including meeting up with the Friesens in Canmore the week before and a tea party with friends (and cupcakes) here after we got back from the coast.
I've already eulogized this dear heart many times this year (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, last year's birthday post and the year before with little-kid pics from previous birthdays), but thought I'd collect a few recent photos and a video with a quick look back and a couple of clips from around her b-day:
Aw... that video had me in tears. Watching kids grow up is completely priceless - which is still completely understated. I love it. Happy birthday Ella Pearl!
Glad you liked it! It's so amazing to be able to go "back in time" and see how kids have grown...but how impossible it is to project a kid into the future to see what they might become.
Beautiful beautiful Ella. What an enthralling collection of snippets of her. Larry & I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures & video. It was pretty special to be able to celebrate with her this year. Love u, Pearl
