Eight is Great!

Eliza has quite a few months before she turns eight, but at the beginning of the year the Primary holds a special night for all the kids that are turning 8 that year and are preparing for baptism. Here is Eliza with her cousin and one of her best friends. There are 2 other kids that should have been there, but one of them, I won't mention any names, :) got sick right as the program started and had to go home, and the other could not make it that night, SO it was the 3 amigos here.

They played a game to help them learn the 4th article of faith, which was quite entertaining to watch. The kids were so funny. They also heard from the Primary president and our bishop. The kids listened so attentively. They were very reverent. Eliza was so excited to be there. She says she can't wait to get baptized! It is hard to believe that she is getting that big. It was a special night. I am so glad that the Primary presidency decided to do this. It makes it so special for the kids. They ate homemade cupcakes at the end which made it even more special! This event was only for the child turning eight and their parents.

Christiana wanted to be there with Eliza so badly and Eliza wanted her there too, so they begged and sang a song and did a little dance asking me AGAIN if she could come. I let her go and they behaved perfectly. I am glad they love eachother so much. They have a special sisterly bond!
