A Gift from the Heart

What do you give to someone you love when you have zero money? 

You give a gift from your heart. 

 And for Ellie that gift from the heart was spending an hour (missing much of Emma's birthday party) carefully crafting hand-decorated paper goody bags for every girl at her big sister's party. 
(NOTE:  Emma had her own bag too, but Ellie was putting the finishing touches on it still when this picture was taken.)

The girls were sweet and gracious to Ellie and seemed to genuinely enjoy their one-of-a-kind goody bags.  Then, just a few minutes after this picture was taken, they were excitedly putting the bags to use with loot from the pinata.  

Sweet girls!
