Eight is GREAT!

The beautiful dress she picked out for her baptism. The whole family, just after the baptism. Dad gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and mom said the closing prayer.
A few of our friends, family, and neighbors that came out to support our girl on her special day! Some people went home quickly & we missed getting them in the photo.
Grandpa gave a talk on baptism, grandma gave the opening prayer and played the piano.
Granny Sue & Papa T joined us too!!!
Opening birthday gifts.
Showing off her cute rainbow cupcakes! We bought them at the bakery, then bought gummy snakes, frogs, & alligators (some of her favorite jungle creatures) to put on top.
The water balloon fight! The teams were 1. Our 8 yr. old & all her friends, Against 2. Her 9 yr. old sister & 5 yr. old brother. My husband set the teams up this way because the birthday girl had been bothered all day by her siblings~ sweet revenge!
Some of the party decorations.
The okapi (looks like a cross between a zebra & a giraffe) that she made in school for their rain forest project.
I brought cupcakes to her class for snack day for an early birthday celebration, in May.
The scriptures she made in her primary class from miniature candy bars~so cute~!
