The Baptism

Kristens baptism was wonderful! The spirit was so strong and there were several kids she knew getting baptized. We had lots of friends come and support her. Unfortunately the water was FREEZING! and I had to warm her up with the blow dryer after. But she loved it all and felt so special. She had lots of little friends come. These are just a few of them. We weren't able to grab them all for pictures. It was also pretty windy so picture taking didn't last long. Thankfully Heather is going to be taking pictures of Kristen so we'll for sure get some fabulous shots of her. Since we weren't able to have much family come into town we asked Kristen where she wanted to go for dinner. She chose the Olive Garden and we headed there after the baptism for a yummy meal. She got some really nice gifts to commemorate the day.
I'll for sure post some great shots of her when Heather gets them done...can't wait!

It was SO fun to see you! I am so happy for Kristin. I'm glad it was a special day for her.
I kind of teared-up thinking about how special it was that Doug was able to baptize her, considering last summer's accident.
She looked beautiful in her dress! Nice job. Can I put my order in?

We are so happy we could be a part of that day and I'm with Lisa, the fact that Doug is with us and was able to baptize his daughter was very heart felt. Kristen is a very sweet girl. We love you guys!

Kristen is one of the very best girls in primary! She looks beautiful in her white dress. You did a great job on that.
