We got home from TN on Wednesday, right before Raptors tryouts THAT night, and the next night we had Elle's 12th birthday sleepover! During tryouts, Elle and I ran to the stores to get all her party things for a "movie themed" birthday party!
Ellie had so much fun with her girls!
Zaydee, Seraphina, Elle, Avila, and Kayla. 💗
The girls had fun watching 13 going on 30!
Watching with their lip masks on. :)
Happy, happy 12th birthday sweet Elle!! We love you so, so much and we are blessed to be your Mom and Dad!!
Elle, you have a heart of gold. You want everyone to feel loved and feel included. You are fearless and will try anything at least once. You are confident and will chat with anyone and you have this deep knowing that you can do anything!! Your size is petite and you go out on any field or court and prove anyone who doesn't know you wrong. You are a slice of sweet, a slice of courage, and a slice of tough muscle.
My birthday wish for you...You always know who you belong to and how loved you are no matter what. Happy birthday, Elle.
