Harlow was cute getting into his cake. He would get scared/nervous/timid (not sure which word truly fits...) when everyone cheered and made a big fuss...finally when people got quiet and doing other things he felt comfortable to start exploring his Birthday cake. He can be a messy kid but generally speaking he's pretty clean. What I guess I mean is that he's not one to throw his food all over.
...blue Curious George cake?! ...we didn't have brown...yea I know... But I still think it turned out cute
Thanks to our sweet Mommies, who are incredible Grandmas! Grandma Rasmussen gave Harlow $20 for his missionary account we've started for him, his first big ball, and travel bags of cereal. Grandma Andersen gave him an awesome bath boat with a white bearded captain, and fishing hook and fish with curly tails to be caught on. Amanda Pinto brought him a teddy bear which now lives in his crib. The Yi's brought yet another signature card congratulating Harlow on turning 8 on the outside and then helping him morning a loss on the inside :).
After presents we had a small talent show where Rian, Ellie, and I all did solos for everyone. And then, the best part, we filled the Rasmussen's house with all of our voices singing our favorite hymns. And dang, we sounded good. Everyone singing made my heart happy! It felt so good! Imagine if that's how it was in church, every person truly singing with everything they had! It was wonderful! Thank You Everyone!!
**For church earlier, we went to the Silver Springs Ward. I know Mom enjoyed having her 3 girls home with her and sitting all together is the ward again. It was nice to see familiar faces of people I admire and care so much for. I have heroes in that ward - so thankful for their faith and the lives they've lived and continue to live.
