Sam and Michael Batson--we call them "double trouble". They are like twins.
Jill Batson and Sheryl--I love that they posed underneath that sign on the wall...very fitting.

After the party we had a family birthday dinner at Toyama. Kiki and Gracie were there too. Gracie was having a good ol' time. Love her smile!

After Toyama we went home and Ella got family gifts. Kiki gave her a cool cupcake maker and my mom gave her a "Baby Alive". Apparently, they are the new thing and exactly what Ella (who loves baby dolls) has been wanting. The doll...well...the doll poops. Yeah, and it talks. I think I had nightmares about baby Chucky last night. Ella was so excited to get it and the cupcake maker. But, as she has reminded me time and time again, the best gifts are of the heart. And those are the kind of gifts she has given us for 7 years.
God, please bless Ella and keep stoking the fire in her heart. Change the world through her love for you. Teach us all to love you as she does.
