It is still hard to believe I have a child old enough to be baptized! As you know Maddie just turned 8 which is a very important age in our church because she can be baptized. She has been looking forward to this for a very long time. She was baptized on Sunday, November 22 by her Dad. It was a very special day for our family. We had a lot of friends and family there, about 50 people came and Maddie felt so special. It was great to have family participate in her baptism and she even sang, "If the Savior Stood Beside me" which was beautiful. It was a neat experience to be there when Maddie came out of the water. She was so excited and full of Joy, she even cried. I treasure that experience. Chris gave her a beautiful blessing after as he confirmed her. Grandma Debbie insisted upon making her baptism dress which was a lot of work and turned out beautiful Hopefully our little girl on the way can wear it to her baptism too!
We had soup, salad, and treats afterwards. It couldn't have gone more smoothly.
When we got home Chris and I gave Maddie her first set of scriptures. She was so excited and has been reading them each night. Her baptism has made a huge impact on her and she is trying so hard to be a good daughter and sister. We are so very proud of her and we love her so much!
