Sunshine's big birthday!

We like to make a big deal out of turning eight in our family.  They can make the decision to be baptized and we try to get as much family to visit as possible.  We were so excited for Sunshine's big day!  I attempted an 8-layer cake.  It mostly turned out.

He woke up to a Birthday Passport with eight pages.  Each page had a fun activity for the day (eat cinnamon rolls, open presents, go out for dinner, etc.)

Sunshine got some great presents, especially from his siblings.

Then we headed to Trafalga (or "Candy Land according to little Sunrise) for some fun.  It was still nice and warm.

We ate at a place the kids loved- Tepanyaki! It was so fun to watch the onion ring of fire and catch food in our mouths.

After dinner we came back to try out the cake.  I was just happy it didn't fall over when we cut it.

At bedtime, we finished reading the Book of Mormon as a family.  We started last year when Sunshine turned 7.
Sunrise is responsible, smart and thoughtful.  He is sensitive to other's needs and a great student.  We just love him!
