This sweet girl turned 9 on July 21st. She woke up to balloons in her room in her favorite color (a tradition) and a few birthday gifts. Her main wish was for jewelry. She's a girly girl through and through. We opened gifts and then actually had to get on the road. I drove with my girls to Utah to meet my sisters and their kids at a home my sister rented in Park City. We did the big birthday dinner and cake with cousins a few days later in UT. Elle was a great co-pilot on our drive. I adore this girl. She is kind and sweet and thoughtful to her core.
