8 is Great

 If you have older sisters, it's just going to happen. You'll learn to cope.
 Be grateful. She could have  dressed you to match her.

Ok, on to the real post...
Grace had a lego birthday party. She was very specific that she like the minifigs and ninjago. Since black doesn't do well with foods, we leaned towards the minifigs for our party. They made minifig heads out of baby food jars. They had minifig races with the jar size guys and duplos and several other loge-ized games. We ate minfig cupcakes and lego crispy treats.
 They created their own wall of minifigs too.
 But their favorite part was a last minute idea. They had 2 minutes to build something and sit down. The first person started a story about what they built. When they we getting comfortable it switched to the next person. They ended up playing it five times.
 After the party, Grace got her ears pierced. It was a late night. I think we got home at 9:30.
It's like the freakin paparazzi. Look at all those flashes!
 Saturday she was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
 We had Tucanos to celebrate.
It was a Graciepalooza. Eight is great...or at least turning eight is great. :)
