THE ONE THING THAT WOULD MAKE HER HAPPY IS IF BRYANT IS HAPPY
THE ONE THING THAT MAKES HER SAD IS IF HE IS SAD (I have to admit I teared up a little on these 2 answers.  Many adults don't put anyone else before themselves and here she is thinking more about her brother than herself....simply amazing).
SHE SAID HER FAVORITE THING TO DO WITH HER MOM AND DAD WOULD BE TO FLY TO NORTH CAROLINA. (THAT IS WHERE SHE WOULD FLY)

I LOVE DOING THESE INTERVIEWS AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I CATCH GLIMPSES OF HOW CHRISTLIKE THEY ARE LIVING.  ELLIE IS A TRUE PEACEMAKER.  SHE DOES NOT LIKE FIGHTING OR CONTENTION.  I HAVE NEVER SEEN HER START A FIGHT OR JUST DO SOMETHING MEAN TO SOMEONE ELSE.  SHE HAS TENDER FEELINGS SO IT MAKES ME SAD WHEN SHE IS SAD.  SHE HAS SUCH A LARGE AND GIVING HEART.  AS WITH ALL OF THE GRANDCHILDREN....SOMETIMES I WISH I COULD JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS WITH HER WHERE WE COULD HAVE SOME ONE ON ONE TIME.  ON THIS VERY SPECIAL 8TH BIRTHDAY, WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR SUCH AN ANGEL THAT WILL BE BAPTIZED SOON.  WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL WE ARE AN ETERNAL FAMILY.  HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY ELLIE!  WE HOPE IT IS PERFECT!!!!
