Ellie’s Great-Grandma Friesen gave her the Doug and Melissa set of beads for her birthday…
We finally busted them out on Monday, and had a beading ball!

I was impressed with El’s spelling and letter finding ability…my big girl is so BIG…

Evan couldn’t get his hands on them fast enough. Thank goodness my mom was here to help, otherwise beads would have been everywhere.

Everyone got necklaces…Grandma, Grandpa, Evan…even Mom.

El made mine for me as I was getting ready for work, so i could wear it there and according to her “show all my friends my beautiful necklace.” So, thats just what I did.
If you were in the library on Monday night and were wondering what was up with my jewelry…now you know.

I, for one, found it hard to take apart and put back into the jar for next time.
