My little Witnee turned 8. I can't believe it. She is such a sweet girl. She is hardworking, kind, gentle, very mothering to younger children, obedient, and a good friend. She got some very special gifts for her special day: a beautiful white dress, pearl earrings from her Great Grandma Zentner, a beautiful necklace from Grandma Lela, a picture frame with the 'three dresses' poem in it along with a baptism picture of her, and her own quad scriptures. She is so excited for her new scriptures. She has been reading and marking them for 2 days already. Everytime I try to find her, she is reading her scriptures. When I woke up, she was awake reading her scriptures in her bed. Like I said, a very obedient child. She is such a joy. Her baptism was so sweet. She has alot of anxiety and was one nervous little girl, but she did great. My dad spoke and her cousin Marissa spoke. The kids and cousins sang the song "Baptism". It was so good. I love hearing children sing. I love hanging with the family enjoying these special days.
We have had a very busy few days. Her birthday was Thursday. Her birthday party was Friday, and her Baptism Saturday. She had a water party here at the house with a big slide and waterballoon games. The kids had a blast doing the funny games, which are always fun when water balloons are involved. I don't know any kid who doesn't LOVE water balloons. The big slide was also a hit. The kids played on it forever. They would jump off the top and land 1/2 way down the slide crashing to the bottom. Even my little 2 yr old niece was jumping off the top. Thankfully the weather was great and the party was a hit.
