Megan Turns 8!

Last week Megan turned 8 and had a birthday party.  The birthday treat was brownie bites (with frosting) and ice cream.  Nathan kept trying to take a few "brown cupcakes" before the party but we were successful at hiding them until this picture was taken.  Then he ate 5! 
Megan had five friends who were able to attend her party which was the perfect amount.  Melissa and Nathan were able to join in the fun too.
We played outdoor water games at her party.  Luckily it was a sunny 80 degree day.  The day after her party was only 65 degrees and cloudy so we were lucky to pick such a nice day for her party.  We had two blow up pools to play in.
And a double slip and slide and water blasters to shoot water at each other.
Then on Saturday Megan got baptized by her Dad.
We had lots of local relatives that were able to attend.
 We passed out cookies as a treat after the baptism.  My mom helped me decorate them and make these cute labels the day before.
My kids couldn't wait to eat some of the cookies, Nathan especially. Holly looks like she is almost as tall as me in this picture.

I took this picture of Megan on Sunday.  She wore her beautiful white dress to church and got to sit on the stand by the Bishop and be welcomed into our ward as the newest member of the church.
 Megan is a great little girl and I am very blessed to be her mother.

What a special day! Yes, Megan is a beautiful little girl and looks so cute in her white dress. Her hairdo is really cute too. Wish I could have been at the baptism, seen all of you and tried one of those cute yummy looking cookies.
