Shailey's Baptism

Shailey turned eight last week and was so excited to finally be old enough to be baptized!  She had three other classmates turn eight in January so it was a quadruple baptism.  It was such a wonderful experience and I hope she remembers it as a very special day.  Marc, Stephanie and Halli were able to make the drive down to be there, too.  It was so nice to see them and so great that they could be there to share Shailey's special day with her.

Here she is with all of her classmates.

And this is her beautiful, white dress.  We'll have to keep it for Olivia to wear on her baptism.








Shailey, we are so pleased with your decision to be baptized.  You are such a sweet daughter and sister and we feel so blessed to have you in our family.  Thank you for being such a wonderful example to your brothers and sister.  You have such a sweet spirit.  You are like a little ray of sunshine in our family and we love you!

How special- I can't believe how old she is- I remember when she was just tiny!! She looks GORGEOUS! I have to tell you, we just got Ava that dress because she saw it and fell in love with it as a "wedding dress", and I was thinking, I should get this in a bigger size and keep it for when she gets baptized- hahaha! Shailey looks so cute in it!!!

So cute!!!
I love baptisms, I get to go to all of them because of my calling and it's so fun. They are always so cute and excited. I can't believe you have an 8 year old!

Congrats Shailey!
