Jelly Bean Turns 8!

Jelly Bean turned 8 in mid December. I can hardly believe that it has been 8 whole years since she was born. She loves American Girl, reading, swimming, and anything that her sister likes OR anything that might annoy her sister.

Also, in our church, children can get baptized and confirmed when they are 8, and Ellie was baptized a few days after her birthday.

Her sister and her cousins made her this card

Jelly Bean and the family - sorry, Super is 5,

and well, sometimes not cooperative.

Jelly Bean and my parents.

They flew out here for the baptism

and the holidays.

We were so happy to see them!

Happy Birthday Jelly Bean! We love you!
