Leah's Baptism 31July 2010

Today was Leah's big day! She was baptized and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! We are so proud of her and her choice to be baptized and follow the example of the Savior. She is a special little girl and we love her so. She had many friends and family come to show their love and support for her too. We wish that Popi and GeeGee could come, along with the Wells- but we know they were there in love.
Here are some shots of her day and the family and friends we are thankful came to see her...
So grown up in this one.
Alex gave the opening prayer and Celeste just wanted the food after wards!
Proud Father pic.
Per Leah's request, I made her favorite Oreo cookies- she was so happy!
Marissa and Celeste enjoy the treats too- shocking, I know!
Gert, Kiana and Renee- just the very best friends...they never miss any important event- I love them so.
Ashley who gave the talk on the Holy Ghost- Leah loves her.
Aunt Annie, who gave the talk on Baptism (so wonderful), and Uncle Javier, who per Leah's request gave the closing prayer in Spanish- the Spirit was radiating...I loved it.
Elaina and Leah- I spoke at her baptism...she is my girl too!
Aunt Stephanie, Adriana, Marissa and Brianna- so happy they came to her day!
Aunt Lori- who had her gall bladder removed on Monday! She is doing great and we are so happy she came too!
Granny NEVER misses out- she is so wonderful and we love her so much!
Tina, who directed the music with her smile- I could watch her do that all the time! The Alpeter girls came too- and Scott- who was one of the witnesses for the baptism and the confirmation. So good to see them and so happy they came.

Grandma and Grandpa love Leah!
A bunch of us who adore this 8 year old!
Tina and I- love her!
My Laney-bug- my how she has grown...I feel old again!
Me and my girl.

Such a special day- thanks to all who participated and came to celebrate with her. There were many others who came that left before I could snap a pic- we are thankful they took time to come too- She is one lucky, clean girl!

What a special day! I am glad she took part in it the way she did like asking her uncle to say the closing prayer in Spanish. That will for sure help her remember the day. She does look grown up. I think it is how long her hair is getting. I love it! Congrats Leah! You are one special and lucky girl.
