The Ellie list

Ruby's good friend from California set a goal to give up french fries for a full year as a goal. She did it!!! Her parents asked her what she wanted as a reward for successfully completing her goal and she said she wanted to visit Ruby in Oregon.   Ruby was thrilled, and started working on "The Ellie list" of of all the things they needed to do when she was arrived.  To be honest, I was equally as thrilled. Ellie's Mom Nicole is one of my dearest friends, so I could not wait to see them.

Over the weekend the girls literally did EVERYTHING on the list, plus some. 

They made matching bracelets at the bead store

We had ice cream... everyday

They even made us a yummy breakfast

They had plenty of alone time and were in heaven. Ruby was a little too obsessed with alone time with Ellie, it caused a few fights and tears with her sisters. 

Ellie's little brother Fletcher was too cute. A baby in a house full of girls is definitely loved. We kept calling Fletcher, Asher... his older brothers name, so we finally just started calling him Frito and it stuck.  He was so stinking cute. (His hand is wrapped because he had a run in with a large can of pineapple juice and the tendon in his finger was cut.)

Ellie (and family) we love you guys!!!!

(We wish you still lived just down the street)
