A Baptism and a Baby Shower

Last Saturday we had a fun but busy day planned. As most of you know my sister Janeal adopted her sweet little angel Kennedy last week. She actually wasn't due until the 24th of March but she decided to come early. We already had the baby shower planned so it was just an added bonus that Kennedy was already here for the shower.

She is so adorable and sweet. We are so happy for Janeal, Tyson, and Carter. This baby really couldn't have gone to a better home.

On Saturday evening at 6:00 Tabrie was able to be baptized. She was so excited. She kept asking when it was time to go.
She was baptized by her Dad and she got dunked three times!! The first time her toe came out of the water. The second time there was a little mix up with the words in the prayer and the third time everything was perfect!!

She thought it was pretty cool that she got to do it three times. I know that will be something that she remembers for awhile. After the baptism and confirmation we had dinner at the church with our friends and family. It was fun, and the kids had a blast running around the gym. Tabrie is very happy to be an offical member of the church. We are so proud of her for making the decision to be baptized. We love her very much and want her to know that we are so proud of her.

It was so hot in the room where the confirmation was done. That is why her cute little cheeks are so red and she isn't looking at the camera. She just wanted to get out of that hot room!! :)

My kids thought it was so cool that she got to be baptized 3 times. I can't believe she's already that big- it doesn't seem like it was that long ago that she was saying "I hurt my winger". LOL!

Glad you guys had such a fun family day! Tablie looked great, hope you didn't choose to return the dress of sin, because of me:)

Hope you are surviving after your long night!! Next time I will be making a delivery to your house, even if you tell me No!
