My 8th Birthday

Emily's birthday

My birthday was on December 28th, three days after Christmas.  I liked it.  I got lots of presents.  I went grocery shopping with Mom and picked out the big 8 to go on my brownie.  I picked brownies and we made brownie cupcakes.  The brownie looks very small compared to the big 8!

My Mom and Dad gave me scriptures, which I wanted so bad!  They also gave me a pink shirt, new polka dot pajama’s, a playmobil camper, and craft scrapbooking paper.

My Grandma and Grandpa Johnson were here at our house when Christmas and my birthday happened.  They gave me a scripture bag that is so cute and a blue sweater and a Tinkerbell2 movie and Charades.   scripture bag

My Grandma and Grandpa Walton gave me a card that sad “God has promised happiness and he is always faithful to his word.”  Inside was 8 dollars.  Last year Grandma and Grandpa Walton gave me 7 dollars and I opened the card and I didn’t notice the money fall out… so this year I opened it up and PRETENDED I didn’t see the money.  They also gave me Scrabble Junior.

My Aunt Lindsey gave me an American Girl card kit.  My aunt Ashlyn gave me a purple scarf.  My aunt Nikole gave me a “What Baptism Means to Me” scrapbook.  Thank you everybody!
