A Surprise for Ella

My beautiful little girl turned 4 years old on August 15th. I can't believe it! Doesn't seem possible it's been 4 years. Daddy & I decided we wanted to get her an outdoor playset for her birthday. We searched and searched and finally found an affordable set that fits our yard perfectly. Keith worked Friday (8th) and Sunday afternoon (9th) putting it together while I distracted Ella to make sure she didn't see what was happening. Amazingly we pulled it off! Normally she would have been going outside to find her Daddy, but she never even tried...not even once.

Sunday afternoon (9th), Mammaw & Pappaw and Grammy & Poppa came to visit (they blessed us by going in with us on the swingset) and we gave Ella her big surprise. It was lots of fun playing and eating pizza with them all.

So, Happy Birthday my sweet girl. I love you sooooo much!!

Here are some of the pics...
