Kelsy's BIG Day!!

Kelsy turned 8 on February 13! Tradition in my family is on your eighth birthday, you are baptized!! So, with special permission from Bishop Maynard and per Kelsy's desire, we set out to do just that!

On February 13, 2012, Kelsy was BAPTIZED!!! (purple cast and all!)


Her baptism was witnessed by JPa and Uncle Raleigh. Special steps were made by Kelsy to ensure she only had to me immersed once. As you can see, we braided her hair and then, she asked her Dad to lightly stand on her feet to keep them from popping up!! How ingenious is that!

Supportive little brothers...


Kelsy is wearing the baptismal dress my mom made for me when I was baptized...as Kelsy put it "it's old!"


JPa and Mimi

After the baptism, we sang Happy Birthday to Kelsy and ate a LOT of food!!


Thanks to everyone who came and helped make this moment so special for our little bug!!

I loved all the pictures. I wish we could have made it! Kelsy is such a beautiful little girl! She has such a strong spirit. What a blessing it must be to have her as a daughter. ♥
