Happy Birthday Rachel!!!!




Today is our beautiful daughters birthday, and she is turning 8!!! We are so blessed to have such a special little girl in our home. Rachel is so kind and loving. She is always thinking of others. She loves the Gospel and school. She is a very gifted artist. Rachel loves to cook and help take care of her other siblings. In our religion, 8 is a very special birthday. When a child turns 8, they reach the age of accountability therefore they are given the opportunity to be baptized. Rachel is so excited to be baptized and we are very proud of her for making the choice to do so. Rachel, we are so very proud of you and all that you do. We love you so very much and feel very blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you for being such a wonderful daughter.

Happy Belated Birthday, Rachel. I agree with Aunt Mitzi that I am sorry you weren't here for us to celebrate your birthday here. But we will be there to celebrate your birthday and baptism Nov. 8. I can't wait to hug you and share this special time with you. Love you. Aunt Lucy and Uncle Bob

I somehow missed this post, I would have been sad to miss the chance to wish Rachel a happy birthday!

Rachel, I hope you had a wonderful day and that you got to do something super special. I am proud of you for choosing to be baptized. What an awesome choice!

You are right, she is all of those things you said. You are one lucky mama, Heather.

Take care-
