Elsa Mae turned eight this week. She wanted a star-wars, roller skating, dragon party. And I think that’s pretty much what she got. She was very pleased with having her parents, grandparents and 8 friends at the roller rink, and she skated til her legs were sore. Then off to the park for (Chewbacca) cake and ice cream. A few days later it was a celebration on the lake at Grampy’s. The new neighbor’s invited the girls into their very warm pool so they got to swim and load up on Grampy’s homemade cookies (and ice cream again). She was smiling from ear to ear.
