Eight is Great

I tried to avoid the cliche title, but the fact of that matter is, Eight IS Great! T had an awesome party, celebrating with her friends on Saturday, then going out that evening with Grandpa N and our family to a cool restaurant where she watched acrobats and got cake with a sparkler candle.

On Sunday, her actual birthday, she wore her new dress that Grandpa N let her pick out and received her very own scriptures from me and DH. After church we all headed to Auntie M's where G&G B and others were gathered, and had a delicious dinner (with chinese noodle salad, per T's request). Reeses Pieces made a fabulous cake, which I would show you but has T's name scrawled in big letters. I will say, this made from scratch chocolate cherry cake with almond buttercream frosting and adorable fondant roses was a masterpiece, both for the eyes and the taste buds.

I'm so proud of the little woman T is becoming. She has such a tender, compassionate heart and truly desires above else to do what is right. She is a kind friend, a fierce cuddler, a laugh lover, and a beautiful, good girl. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father sent her to our family and that she is around to set such a good example for her brother and sister. I just adore my little T.
