Since Ella turned 8 in January, she was able to attend the General Womens Meeting which was held in March. I was able to get some tickets and Ella, myself, Aunt Ericka, Aunt Sara and Grandma Wright all went together. This was the first time this meeting was held for Primary, Young Women and Relief Society ladies at the same time. I really didn't know how Ella would do. I thought it would be best if we had dinner before we went to the meeting. We easily found parking and enjoyed some nice moments around Temple Square as we leisurely arrived at the Conference Center. We had excellent seats and Ella and I passed some time looking at artwork prior to the meeting. It was nice being together and enjoying each other. Ella did well during the meeting and it was nice that it was just over an hour in length! My hope was that she would enjoy it so that she would look forward to this new tradition again. I think we accomplished that but we will see what happens in September.
My favorite part was when all of the 8-12 year old girls were asked to stand and sing, "I am a Child of God". It was beautiful!

Grandma and Ella.....so sweet!
I am so glad we had the opportunity to spend this time together!
