Birthday & Baptism

Eleanor turned 8 today! She woke up excited to celebrate her birthday and to be baptized after church. She opened her package from Grandma & Grandpa first thing in the morning. I had hid her package, so she was surprised to see how big it was. She wondered what was inside! Here she is waiting, waiting, waiting to open her package.

When she did get to open her package, she unwrapped a BEAUTIFUL dress to wear after her baptism.


She also got cute shoes to match. :-)

Eleanor made this fancy headband on Emily's birthday with the ribbon from Emily's party. She has been waiting to wear it ever since.

Eleanor likes to help her Grammie out in the library at church. Notice the new hairstyle. Zoe loves to do her sisters' hair, so she convinced Eleanor to let her do Eleanor's hair using Eleanor's new barrettes.

Jerry & Judy came to visit for Eleanor's baptism!

The children sang Happy Birthday to Eleanor in Primary and she received a birthday pencil. After church, it was time to get ready for the baptism!

Eleanor invited Anna, a friend from school, to her baptism. Anna came with her sisters, Daisy, Claire, and Emma, and her Dad. We had a finger food potluck after church, so Eleanor was able to sit down with Anna and get something to eat.

Emily & Daisy are good friends as well.

Zoe always has Morgan to hang out with at church. Poor Morgan is stuck in Primary until August. She is so ready to be in Young Women's with Zoe!

I was able to get a picture of Eleanor & Anna, and a picture of Eleanor's cake from Judy before my camera battery died. Judy took some pictures of our family with her camera, so I will post those pictures when I get them.



I have pictures from Eleanor's party, but I will post them tomorrow.
