All About Nellie- 10 Years

This Nellie girl of mine is 10!  It is hard to believe how fast this time is passing!  She is really growing up. I cant believe that she is going to be in her last year of elementary school!  Nellie really loves entertainment.  She loves to play with friends and play games and pretty much just play anything.   Her best friend is Kennedy and she lives just down the street from us which is so fun for Nellie.  She loves to watch TV and her grandma has gotten her into a bunch of really interesting shows.  She likes to watch cooking shows and vet shows and just all kinds of different shows that you wouldn't think kids would like.

Nellie loves to sing and is in the church choir with her sisters and her Dad. She is a very good singer and I love to hear her beautiful voice. 

 Nellie is still a lover of all treats, but especially chocolate. She also is still enjoying cooking and has a talent for it. She still talks about wanting to be a chef when she grows up and her Grandma gives her cooking lessons.

Nellie and her Grandma Hansen are very close.  They have a very special bond and there are times when I am struggling with her and don't really feel like I can get through to her but her Grandma can.  They have many similar characteristics and I think it is so neat.

A funny thing about Nellie is that she always wants to be doing whatever Lizzy is doing. Even though she is almost two years younger than Lizzy she gets so upset when we tell her that Lizzy gets to do it because she is older.  Nellie doesn't believe that is a valid reason.

Another funny thing about Nellie that has started more recently is that she has really started to notice boys lately. She will see famous people and talk about how hot or handsome they are. Its extra funny to me because it reminds me so much of how I was from early on. I was always obsessed with boys and fantasizing about romantic things.

Nellie really loves her baby sister Clara.  She has gotten a lot better at getting along with her younger siblings, and is really starting to be more helpful with them.

Nellie is really growing up and turning into such an awesome girl!  I love her personality and how fun she is to be around and how much fun she likes to have.  It makes all of our lives more fun to have her around. We love our Nellie girl so much!
