Happy 19th Birthday Ella Claire

Writing that title made me feel old. How is it that my baby girl is now an adult?!

It’s been an incredible year for you. You graduated, travelled to Washington in Spring, North Carolina in the Summer, Toronto for the Eras Tour in the Fall, started taking various dance teacher certifications and began teaching / choreographing dance. I love how passionate you are about your students and how invested you are in their growth. You’ve always been amazing at connecting with children and I can’t wait to see where this year takes you.

I’m so thankful for you. You have always lit up a room. You’re kind, caring and you love those around you with so much love.

You’re patient and wise beyond your years. I’m so proud of the person that you are, the values that you possess and the way you live your life. You give so much of yourself to others, just be sure to take what you need from all of us as well.

I love you Ella and I’m so grateful that I truly love the person you are as well. Thank you for all that you do, especially with Ezra. You’re an amazing role model for him and one of his fav people. I’m so thankful for you.

We’ve celebrated you a lot over the past few days and I’m excited to celebrate you on your day today. I love you my sweet girl. Happy 19th! 💕
