Ella's 9-Year Photos

Since we did not have any plans to go out of town for Spring Break this year, I made appointments to take all three of my older children in to the photo studio for their annual photos.  Since Lia and Ella were both busy on Saturday morning when Logan had his pictures taken, they got to go in together today.  I had to chuckle to myself as Ella was all dressed up in her new, fancy gown that she got for Easter to wear for the formal night on our cruise this summer while Lia was dressed all casual in ripped jeans and a sweater.  It perfectly sums up these two girls' different personalities when it comes to wardrobe and appearance at this time of their lives.  Ella looked absolutely darling in her beautiful gown, complete with the tiara I bought for her in 2021 when I took her to see the Nutcracker ballet.  She smiled so pretty for all of her pictures and I loved how they turned out.  I am just trying to treasure these last few years of my second daughter still being a little girl and loving to dress like a princess.  I know that this short chapter of her life is going to close in the blink of an eye!
