SHE'S EIGHT!!!
We have a tradition for birthdays in our family. Pancakes with money (thoroughly washed ;). Inside these cute, smiley, red faced pancakes is 8 cents. They love it, finding the money when cutting into it or hoping not to bite down too hard on a copper coin... we get a kick out of it. (A tradition Jeremy's mom got started when they were little). 
We spent the day as a family, including Grandma Elli, out shopping for white sunday shoes and visiting Grandma and Grandpa Cheeto in Tri-Cities. She said, "This is the best birthday ever!" I love how such simple things can be so meaningful for her.

Uncle Randell came up to join the celebration too :)

Brownie eating
Then bed time. Last year I did prob one of the biggest bday parties I've ever done.... to be honest, probably not again til she's 16. So this year, (especially with so much going on with holidays, family, and getting ready for baptism stuff), we made it very simple and small. We don't do sleep overs all that often so I told Cami she could have one for her birthday. But only a couple of people. So she asked for her good neighbor friend Serell and cousin Tate to sleep over, (little cousin Kenzie didn't want to be left out we made some room on the floor ;). Of course none of them fell asleep before 11 o'clock, haha. Classic sleepover happenings ;). 
Then in the morning after breakfast we went on a 2 mile walk, threw rocks in the river and enjoyed the warm winter day before heading home.
Happy Birthday Cami, love you so much!!

Happy Birthday Cami! Lindsey remembered your birthday and wanted to call you. I said she could but things obviously got busy and the call was never made. Just know that we did think of you on your special day and are so sorry we won't be able to make it to your baptism. We'll be there in spirit. :) Really wanted to go.
Happy Birthday Cami!
