PETRA RAMIREZ

Today is Ellie's eighth birthday. I spent the rest of last night finishing up baking and wrapping some gifts that I got her. I'm excited to give her two main gifts.

"Ms. Ramirez, everything is ready for Miss Eliana's party," Brenda announces, standing by Ellie's bedroom door.

"Thank you so much," I respond, with a warm smile.

She smiles back before walking away, shutting the door behind her.

I turn back to Ellie who was trying to adjust her princess tiara, I walk over to her bending down to her height.

"Having trouble?" I asked.

"Momma, it needs to look perfect like I'm an actual princess." She says more in a frustrated tone.

I furrowed my brows, Ellie's hair was down and wavy the night before she wore her hair in French braids. She's wearing a big poofy pink dress that she picked out herself.

She hands me the tiara tilting her head towards me slightly, I place the tiara on her head fixing the sides a little.

"There you go all secured and perfect." I told her, she looked at herself in the mirror as she made an 'O' facial expression on her face.

She starts bouncing on her toes before turning to me and wrapping her arms around my neck, "Thank you, you're the best Momma."

I smiled before placing a kiss on her forehead, "You're welcome Elliebear."

I stood up and grabbed her hand pulling her along with me, "Let's go everyone is waiting for you."

When we walk outside in the backyard everyone yells, 'Happy birthday'.

Ellie puts her hands up to her mouth before screaming in happiness, as she runs towards the pink bouncy house and the small petting zoo that was set up.

"This is so amazing!" She screams as she runs all over the backyard.

All the kids started running all over the place, as Parents and everyone else were talking.

I walk over to Xavier and interlock my arm with his as I lay my head on his shoulder, Ellie comes running over to us, "Mommy, Daddy, can we open presents now?"

"Of course, Princess," Xavier tells her, making her jump with joy.

Ellie runs over to the table that was scattered with a bunch of presents and gift bags. Everyone starts gathering around the table along with kids sitting down on the ground to watch her.

Ellie gets up on the big chair that says 'princess' with a big crown on it before grabbing one of the presents off the table.

"Alright, let's get this on video." Natalia says as she pulls out the camera to record, "Are you ready?"

Ellie nods her head in excitement and begins opening her presents. She got a big Barbie doll, along with three princess dresses. Everyone tells her which was from whom, and she happily accepts them.

"Here's mine, Elliebear," I said as I walked over to her.

I held out a small box, and she took it from my hand and opened it. She opens her mouth in excitement.

"This necklace is so pretty Mommy!" She says as she takes it out of the box.

"There's more," I tell her, causing her to look in the box as she pulls out a bracelet.

I bought her a silver charm bracelet, with all the charms that represent her. The first charm was a ballerina shoe, the second charm was a teddy bear that represents Elliebear with diamonds, the third charm was a crown, the fourth charm was the letter E, and the fifth charm was the sun with a few diamonds.
