Church Easter Picnic

Ellen had such a big Easter this year! We started celebrating with a picnic at our church. She had so much fun eating hamburgers with Caroline, Garrett, Charlie and Ouisie. That is Ouisie checking out Ellen's shoes. Ouisie's mommy and I went to school together and our mothers were our Brownie leaders! We were totally Troop Beverly Hills and my mom has some funny stories about those days.

We love our church and our church friends so much! Our good friends from church, Chris and Chrissie, have been living in Australia for work. We really miss them but love when they come to visit. Ellen has already gotten to meet Chrissie a couple of times and looks forward to getting to know her better.

Chris and Chrissie sent birthday wishes all the way from Australia!

Dear Ellen, Happy birthday from your biggest fans Down Under! We are wishing you a very special birthday and for your second year to be even better than your first! You are so special and are loved by so many! We are truly blessed to count your parents as our friends and to have the joy of watching you grow up (even if it is from half way around the world). Looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays! Love, Chris and Chrissie Vandevere

Thanks for the sweet wishes, Chris and Chrissie! We can't wait for your next visit and for you to move home! Love, The Little Bee and her Momma
