Her special day has finally come....Baptism day....
She was so excited. Honestly, she had to wait until 1pm and the time couldn't come fast enough!
Cute Daddy with Alayna
Yup, I was there to witness it all.
In the orientation they were so cute just holding hands....From start to finish it was a very special day. Taking the time before hand to "Be Still" was the best thing I ever did. It prayed with all my heart I could truly be in the moment. To allow the sacredness of this special day not be drowned out by the hussle and bussle of the other three kids, visitors, house, lunch, etc....but my prayers were answered. It was quiet, still and just what we all needed. I loved it. We took the time later that night to both lay on Alayna's bed and write in our journals. It was a moment I'll always remember. I hold dear to my heart many tender and sacred feelings. One I will share is when I asked Alayna how she felt after it was all over and when she "recieved the Holy Ghost." She put her hands to her heart and said with a deep sigh and BIGGEST smile ever..."I felt so special when Daddy said that to me, "I say unto you recieve the Holy Ghost!"
Her sweet girly friends that came to support her on her great day.
The big girl cousins.
All the girls...
One proud grandmother of any girls.
Imagine we got a great family photo...and one with my eyes open...but man alive what a great family!
