An 8-year old princess

Ava turned 8 this past Thursday.  Since Thursday was a school night, we decided to open just two of her presents on Thursday and then wait until Friday night for the presents from her brothers.  Our little girl is all grown up.  Nichole got Ava the Scripture bag and I got her the scriptures.  Nichole was able to get Ava's name embroidered on the scriptures which was great.  We took Ava, Eli and a few of her friends on Friday night to Jungle Jim's.  The girls and Eli had a blast there at Jungle Jim's.  They loved the rides and was grossed out from the pizza.  I think this is typical about the food at these fun event places.  The pizza was atrocious.

Mom got her little girl the scripture bag

Dad got the birthday girl the scriptures...even though mom got the name embroidered

Riding the roller coaster.  Eli had the face of terror during the ride, but here before the ride began, he was all laughs and smiles.
