Baptism

Today was the big day!
Leah decided to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
She was beautiful in her white dress - and so excited for everything!


She woke up this morning to a "sweet" message of support from her family.

We managed to get everyone dressed with Lisa's help (thanks so much for coming up early!) and got up to the church to get things started.
The service was beautiful - she had asked me to give a talk on Baptism and her grandma gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. We sang some of her favorite primary songs and she braved the somewhat cold water to be baptized by her father.

Thank you to everyone who was there to help and support Leah on this special day!

We are so proud of our beautiful girl. She really does try to be helpful and make good choices. She sets a great example for her brothers... when she's not trying to get under their skin :).

After cleaning up, we headed on back to the house to warm up with homemade pizza and birthday cake and more presents of course!
It was fun to cozy up in the warm house with grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
Thanks everyone for making the drive to Austin for the day!
