Happy 11th Birthday Ella Kate! We celebrated in Tuscaloosa, AL at Lake Lurleen State Park. You wanted slime and all the stuff to make your own slime. You had so much we had to purchase tubs just to store it all in. You got a tv for your room. You wanted to create your own space in the RV. Crazy story about the tv… we went to Walmart to let you pick it out and when we scanned it it was only $20, so we got two of them. Your favorite is popcorn, so we found this cool set that came with popcorn buckets and everything. It was a fun gift for you to open that morning. We took you shopping for everything else. You wanted this simple cake from Edgar’s Bakery but they were all out so we ended up getting you a big beautiful cake from there that they already had made.

Hard to believe you’re already 11! You are great at making friends, you are kind to everyone you meet, and you enjoy every moment of the day playing and watching movies.

I love you so very much sweet girl. You are my sunshine.
