We had another birthday here at the Sherman house. But not just any birthday; it was a milestone birthday. Makenzie turned 8 on Sunday! And she got to be baptized that evening. I remember being baptized on my birthday when I turned 8. We were blessed to have family come and visit for several days! My parents just got released from their mission in Chicago and were able to make a detour before heading home. They served on the Navy base, so they brought all the kids navy shirts. 
Tyler's mom and brother came, as well as a niece and a nephew that are close to Makenzie's age. Mother Nature kept us mostly indoors. We took them to a bounce house where they could bounce off their walls and not mine!
Then we had a fun birthday celebration!!
Makenzie wanted a "zoo" birthday
It was definitely a zoo at our house. (Notice Uncle Will in the back)
I am a tiger. Hear me roar!!!
And then we a had baptism….
She got to wear the dress she wore for Aunt Mandy's wedding last summer.
Baptized and confirmed by her Daddy
It was such a wonderful and spiritual event to witness!
Group Pics: She sure is beaming in all of them!
Each group shot that we got has another set of pictures with Makenzie throwing funny faces in them. She was all about the sillies. Here is a picture with our Bishop. Right when I said "three," she made this pose.
I'm so proud of my beautiful growing girl. I love her so much!
