Happy Birthday Savannah!

8 years ago, actually at this very hour, Jason and I became parents for the first time and our lives changed forever...for the better!

Savannah turns 8 years old today!  Where has the time gone! She is a wonderful, sweet, girl who always tries to do what's right.  She is such a good big sister and we know she was sent to our family to fulfill that role.  She is maturing so much and it fun to watch her learn and grow.  She is so excited to be 8 years old and be baptized next month, start working on her Faith in God, and go to Activity Days (something she has been waiting for since she went to "Great to Be Eight" last January).

 

 

  

We had a party for her yesterday with 10 friends from school and church.  Which was a little crazy but fun to see her with all her friends both new and old.  We had after school snacks, played pin the present, made bracelets, played a present game, had an ice cream bar and opened presents.  The girls had a great time and I'm sure they would have played all night if we let them. 

Now today she is out on her date with Jason and then we will have a little family party and finish opening her present and have cake.
