HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY ELENA!

My sweet little baby girl is now 8. How fast the time goes by. She has developed into such a young lady. I'm not quite ready for the next few years as she turns into a tween. Hopfully she will continue to always want to wear dresses, play with her brothers, and cuddle up close.
Elena is waiting anxiously for next Sunday when she will be baptized. She is looking forward to seeing her Grandpa's and Grandma's, cousins, and going to Disneyland.
