It's GREAT to be EIGHT!

In our family, we have a tradition that the eight days leading up to our children's baptism we celebrate them every day in a different way. You can read about Sarah and Andrew's "It's Great to be Eight"
here and here.
On the first day of Spencer'"It's Great to be Eight", Spencer and Mom went out on a date.  We first went to the Scout Store to buy Spencer's cub scout shirt and a few other things he will need for cub scouts. Then, we had lunch at Applebees.

On the fourth day, he received a special "comforter" from Nonnie and Grandpa.  This is to remind him of receiving the Holy Ghost and that it will be a special comforter to him throughout his life.
