Eight

So, I'm still trying to figure out how these kids grow up so quickly!!

Eliza turned Eight in August, and we celebrated the big day in Utah at Grandma and Grandpa's.

I should have taken a picture of EVERYONE who came to her party. We had aunts, uncles, cousins, Great-grandparents, a great family gathering. Eliza's face is all red in these photos from running around with the cousins.

Her dessert request was cheesecake (we made 5 of them).


She had a big birthday chorus and got to open her presents. A few from Mom & Dad,


And a baptism dress from Grandma and Grandpa.


It seems we celebrated Eliza's birthday the entire week. The above party was actually 2 days before her birthday, as Jeff and I took off during Eliza's real birthday (all by ourselves!) to go here for 3 days.

And spent one evening here (seeing Cats!).

We figured Eliza would have a fun "real birthday" with Grandpa and Grandma. (We heard they went to Chuck-E-Cheese).

Eliza had a list of things she wanted to do for her birthday in Utah.

Two of them were fishing up Fairview Canyon


And going miniature golfing.


I think we all had fun with Eliza's requests.


Happy birthday "fluh!"
