Happy 8th Birthday to my sweet Rachel! Saturday we started the day by opening presents. Her gift from us was the much anticipated Lego Bat Cave. We spent a few hours putting it together and it has been much loved ever since. We had her swim birthday party that day with friends and got Cafe Rio for her birthday dinner.

In two weeks she gets to be baptized and is so excited because her grandparents will be ablet o be there. They get back from their mission the night before! I am so proud of her and her choice to be baptized. We went shopping a few weeks back to get her a new dress for the big event and her own set of scriptures. What a big day!

I love this girl! She is so tender and sweet. So loving and smart. So adorable. And so determined to be herself. Happy Birthday Sweet Rachel!
