Our awesome little girl is not so little any more... in fact, she's almost as tall as I am!
And she turned 8 today!
Since it is a school night, we decided to hold back on the festivities until this weekend, especially since we have family coming into town on Saturday. But we did let her choose the menu for the day - and for posterity's sake, here it is:
Breakfast - eggs, sausage, toast
Lunch - macaroni & cheese, blackberries
Dinner - spaghetti, green beans, okra, asparagus
We did, however, receive instructions from the Grandmas to let her open their gifts tonight

A testimony glove - to help keep things straight when you get nervous.
(I might have to borrow that one sometime)
An American Girl dog to whet her appetite for all products American Girl - aahh!
But the most exciting event of the night was that
we finished reading the Book of Mormon!
We started last year on her birthday with the goal of finishing before her baptism... and we did it!
(18 verses per day in case you were wondering)
