We also spend some time on Friday making cupcakes. The girls were all willing to help (but Mattie is missing in the pictures).
And here's what they created:
She woke up Saturday, and in true Earnest tradition, opened her presents right away...
which included a new dress....
for her baptism!! When Quinn was born we decided to wait until 4th of July weekend to bless her so that more family could be there. The circle of priesthood holders to bless her had about 10 people in it - all 5 of her uncles plus a great-uncle, 2 grandfathers, a great grandfather and her father. I thought how lucky she was to have so many worthy priesthood holders in her family to stand in that circle, to set an example for her throughout her life of how to live and be happy. She had plenty of family there to celebrate her baptism, too. We are thankful everyone could be there especially for those who traveled from Portland and Virginia to be there with her.
Afterwards, we celebrated her birthday at Straw Hat Pizza where we had pizza and cute cupcakes.
Happy Birthday, Quinn! You are a joy to have in our family and we love you!
