My good friend, Kathy gifted this beautiful book to Ella for her first Christmas. In the story, Fancy Nancy helps her best friend, Bree (I swear!) plan a butterfly themed birthday party. At the end of the book, (sorry, spoiler alert. LOL) Fancy Nancy visits a butterfly garden where a little blue butterfly lands on her- exactly what happened to me back in April. The best part of the book though, is the note Kathy wrote inside:
"Dear Ella,
On your first Christmas, we sure wish you were here, we wish we could know you and play with you and chase butterflies with you."
Kathy, this book means more to me than I can put into words. Thank you for remembering Ella and for all your support this year. I will treasure this book forever and look forward to reading it with Ella's siblings.
Many thanks and much love to Emalee, Kenner's mom for taking this picture of Ella's name in the Utah snow this weekend.

That book was such a beautiful gift. It makes me want to cry. How special that it has your name in it and what a thoughtful friend. The picture of Ella's name is lovely with the butterfly.
