Ellie had a great birthday year with all her grandparents in town for her baptism. Her siblings were very excited to give her gifts. They gave her big hugs and loved her lots. We love our eight year old! She is a busy reader, loves to make up stories, draw artwork, and do science experiments. She is good at saving money, she likes to plan things for our entire family (FHE, activities, meals, anything that could possibly be planned!) and is always ready to share and make her brothers and sister happy. She has been reading her scriptures, writing in her journal, and doing extra work at school for fun. She has good friends at school this year that she plays fairies with at recess. She tells me all about the weather and about how air works when she gets home. She gets to go to ELP this year which means lots of extra projects that get her thinking about all sorts of things that I can barely keep up with. She does math problems with Justin in the car, and plans on being an author one day. She also has had her temper calm down this year, and is much happier to deal patiently with crazy siblings... unless she is reading a book, and then she doesn't hear them at all. She continues to take piano and is passing me up pretty quickly... I won't be able to help her soon! She likes rhyming, riddles, and jokes, and has inherited her Grandpa Wood/Grandpa Mark/Daddy's humor for saying strange word plays. She is a treasure and we love her soooooo much!
