Nora's Birthday and Baptism

This post is WAY, WAY overdue!! Nora's birthday and baptism were clear back in September! This school year has been insanely busy, I mean REALLY busy, and finding time to dedicate to this blog has just not been a reality for me. But, I had to post about this very special event that happened in our family, late or not.

This beautiful, cute, spunky girl brings so much light into our lives! She just couldn't wait to turn EIGHT!! Nora has such an excitement and a love for life! She finds joy in simple things. She is motivated to learn and eager to teach. She often has to be the one to lead out and be the "boss." She also makes things fun and can add laughter to any situation. She loves to be super girly, but also enjoys playing hard, getting dirty and being rough. She has so much compassion and caring for others. We love her sweet, stubborn, passionate, kind, adventurous spirit!  

Nora wanted a woodland themed birthday party this year. I made her a tree stump fondant cake with a cute fondant fox topper and moss and toadstool cupcakes.   

Friend party!!

Happy Birthday Nora Lora Girl!!!

Nora was counting down the days until her baptism for months. She couldn't wait to make this commitment and covenant with the Lord. It was such a special and beautiful day! Nora's love and knowledge of her Heavenly Father and Savior are so strong. She knows they love her and she is so wonderful at spreading and sharing that love with others.
