Brighton is 11!!!!





Yesterday was Brighton's Birthday and despite everyone being sick (except her) it was a great day. She opened one present before school (a new outfit to wear that day) and many more later that night. We have a rule that you only get "friend" birthday parties on even birthdays and family parties on the odd birthdays. Great rule BTW. So we got together with Dean's family on Saturday and my family last night. Grandma Johnson made B the cake of her dreams, she really wanted a madhatter type cake and Grandma Johnson is the cake wizard!

Brighton is such a great kid! I know sometimes it is hard for her to be surrounded by babies (we have 2 and her dad also has 2). But she is the best big sister, and Boston many times wants to be comforted by her and no one else, and Avery just giggles whenever B holds her. Brighton is such a smart kid she is always thinking of art projects and new things she wants to create. She is also very sweet and always thinks of others and doing what's right. She has really matured over the last year and has had many experiences learning about the different choices people make and how living the gospel is truly the way she wants to live her life. We are so proud of her and the young woman she has become!
Happy birthday B we love you!!!
