Birthdays, Baptism, and Blessing

 Rachel's sweet Primary teachers brought her this sweet towel to get her excited about her big day.

Bridget had a great birthday and woke up to these sweet notes from the kids all over the house.  Some of the best ones were she "lets us watch 3 movies in two days!" and "she gives Josie her animals back" (after they'd been confiscated because she never cleans up), and "she carried us around in her belly."  Ahhh...

 Rachel started birthday festivities with a bang by having some fun friends over for a pajama game night.  We played bingo, limbo, Guesstures, the telephone game, the name game, and lots of other things.

 They were a little silly if you can't tell.  Her guests were Taya, Kalia, Alli, Molly, and Lizzy.

The next day Rachel was able to be baptized by Justin on her actual birthday.  It was such a sweet event.  Suzy and Brady spoke and Kassia and her sister Kanela sang A Child's Prayer.  We were also able to bless Andy in the same meeting.  It was a really special day for our family.

 Grandma made this fun 8 cake.

 Grandma Shirley was able to come and help us celebrate.

 Rachel got this beautiful jewelry box with family necklaces from Nana and Grandad.

 And this wild cowboy vest from them too.

 Grandpa liked the vest too...
