Amelia's Baptism

Lia's baptism was a couple weeks ago and everything went really well. She was so excited and so sweet. I wish we could do it all again because it was one of the greatest days I've had as a mother, next to the days our kids were born. I worried about pretty much anything I could worry about in the weeks before, but the day of everything went perfect! We are so grateful for Lia. I am grateful for her enthusiasm about the gospel and her testimony, which before her baptism I knew she had but hadn't ever heard her share. She bore her testimony after she was confirmed and it was simple and sweet and heartfelt. I am grateful for Nate for being the dad and person he is. I'm grateful he was able to conduct the baptism, Lia's will probably be the only one he'll have the opportunity to do that at. And finally I'm grateful for our family and friends who were there to share the special day with us, and for the ones who wanted to be but couldn't. We feel so blessed to have all of you in our lives.













Lia wanted to get her picture taken in her baptism dress at the temple. They turned out to be my favorite pictures.

I love those pictures you had taken of her, she looks so pretty! And I really liked the video you showed at the baptism of pictures of her. I didn't know her as a baby, or even as a really little girl, so it was fun to see.

Lia sorry we missed your special day we thought about you all day that day. I can't believe how fast you have grown up. You are such a good example to your sisters and brothers and to your cousins. Lucy talks about you and your baptism all the time. We love you and miss you.

P.s. Your dress was beautiful
