The Author & the Illustrator

The look on her face says it all!
Yesterday Ella took it upon herself to make her own book (I helped fold it and we both stapled the edges).  It was all her idea.  She wanted to make, write, and illustrate her very own story book!  And that's just what she did.  It's called "Ella's Treasure Hunt".  She actually wrote out her own sentences like "I am eating grapes" and "I am a ball".  The best was when Jeff came home from church.  Ella was so excited to snuggle up on the couch next to her daddy and show him what she did; she was so excited and proud of herself!  And we were too!  A very fun moment for us all!
So exited to tell Daddy about the pictures she drew!

Wow! I love to looks on intensity in her eyes and I can hear her little voice explaining what her "story" was about!
