Easter and Birthdays

It's a pretty cool thing when you turn 8 years old on Easter Sunday. The time in your life when you are ready for more responsibility and accountability and it happens on the same day our Savior made those things possible. I hope our Sweet Pea will look back on this day and realize the signifigance.

She is really looking forward to her baptism in May - start watching for your invitations. Her dad and I can hardly believe she is 8 already. Even more that we are old enough to have a child turning 8. Surely people don't really get this old! :)

A few things I love about her:

You are so sweet and always want to do everything right. I learn so much watching you and having you as my example of choosing the right.

You don't like to make mistakes. You just have a natural desire to always choose the right, even if it's hard or means possible punishment.

You LOVE Love LOVE to read!

You are so smart! just like your Daddy!

You are so willing to help me! especially when it means entertaining our baby.

You play so nicely with your brother and sisters.

You love to sing! And you don't care who listens.
You have a tender heart.
You care about the feeling of the people around you.
You still love to snuggle.

You always make me smile.

I LOVE YOU BABY!
