Baptism Day

Lexi was baptized April 14.  A day I will never forget.  A day full of emotions.  A day like no other.  A wonderful day!

I honestly am not sure how to put in words the way I felt as my first child entered the waters of baptism.  I am so grateful to have a daughter like Lexi.  I am grateful that she made the choice to be baptized and understands what that choice means.  She tries her best to please her Heavenly Father and I know he was smiling down on her that day!  

As we were driving to the church she asked us what Heavenly Father did special that day just for her.  We told her that the weather was perfect and sent just that day to make her baptism extra special {all week we had 90 degree weather and on Sat. it was in the 70's}.  She was all smiles that day and as we were in the dressing room putting on her white jumpsuit she looked up at me and said, "I am so excited to be baptized!  I can't wait!"

Lexi and her bestie ~ Ella.  It was so fun for these girls to share their baptism day with each other!

My friend Amy made the announcements.  I love the way they turned out!

We had a luncheon following the baptism with family and friends.  I took a few pic's before, but clearly forgot in the craziness of trying to feed 30+ to take some while they were here!
