All about Nellie-11 years

 Nellie didn't get a birthday party this year because it is an odd year, but that meant going on a little date with mom and dad.  We took her to Cheesecake factory, and then to see Spiderman Homecoming. and we celebrated with a skor bar cake on Sunday with the whole family. 

Nellie has grown up so much this year. She decided to grow out her bangs that she has always had, and she is looking so cute and old without them!  This year was really the year of grandma for her.  She became so close to her grandma and it was so hard for her to say goodbye to her.  Grandma and Nellie have very similar personalities so Grandma really helped Nellie a lot when it came to conquering some of the anxieties that she has about things.  In turn it has caused Nellie to be a lot easier to be around and she has been a lot happier than she has been before. 

Nellie is still our little cook and she really does a great job at cooking. She is especially great at cookies and we call her the cookie master.  She has managed to become better at making chocolate cookies than me!  Nellie has also become more into romance and aware of those sorts of things so she has become a bit obsessed with Romantic Comedies and watching them. But this is so similar to me at the same age that it is crazy! 

Nellie is going into middle school this year and is really growing up so much!  She is starting to babysit for us when Lizzy is babysitting for someone else and she is really learning how to do a great job. Nellie is still pretty obsessed with candy and sweets just like she has always been.  Haha! Nellie is such a sweet girl and so full of love and kindness.  We are so happy that we were blessed with our spunky Nellie belle!
