Elinor's Birthay/Baptism day

Today my sweet baby girl turned 8 years old.  She had a very busy and exciting day.  She had to go to school, but only for a half day, then after she got home, she got to go out with Grandma May.  They went to bridgestreet and had lunch, went shopping and walked around together.  Ella loved spending one-on-one time with Grandma.  While they were out, the rest of us went out to lunch at Sakura.  The kids loved the dinner show!  After we finished eating, we met up with Ella and Laura at the Monaco to go see "Rio 2" it was ok, but not the best movie.  After the movie was over, it was time to get ready for Elinor's Baptism.  We went home and changed clothes and got everything ready.  We had enough time for Elinor to open a few gifts before heading to the church.  It was a wonderful service, Laura gave the Baptism talk, then Jon baptized Ella.  I gave the talk on the Gift of the Holy Ghost then Grandpa did Ella's confirmation.  We were so excited to see so many friends there!  After the baptism, we invited our friends to come back to our house for refreshments.  Ella loved all her gifts, and it was a very successful day!
