My little babies just keep growing. Why won't they listen to me and slow down? Having said that, Chris was super excited to turn 8 and be baptized. He was excited to talk to the bishop and having passed the interview plan his baptism. This year was the perfect year for him to turn8. As it happened his birthday landed on a Saturday so he was able to be baptized on his birthday, a rarity for sure.
He asked me to play the piano for him and that is something I really don't do. I said yes of course and then practiced my little fingers off. Made it through the songs without passing out and only a few minor mistakes that nobody really noticed. He had Ben give a talk and his daddy did the baptism.
Chris is such a sweetheart with a little devil inside. He's super angelic and very easily touched by his emotions, but then the devil peeks out and he pesters his brothers and sister until they are running around crazy. Does any one else have this issue? Just wondering if we were alone in this situation. Anyway, I love having him in our family and thankful he made the choice he did. Now if we could just trap the devil for good...

And just because... my little big goof with the Chinese dancer from his school nutcracker play. He was so excited to bring it home. I had to hang it on his bedroom door until the rest of the kids torn it down.
