baptized

Tori was baptized on the 9th of July.

We had around 60 family members in attendance and lots of ward members and friends.

It was bittersweet seeing my oldest child in her second WHITE dress.

The next white dress she will be wearing will be her WEDDING gown.

Where has the time gone?

Tori requested Grandma Udall to give the talk on Baptism and Uncle Quin to give the talk on the Holy Ghost and Grandma Hatch sing.

Her American Girl doll had a white dress to wear on this special day too...thanks to Aunt Carol.

Every last detail was remembered.

Including a new WHITE monogrammed towel that said BAPTISM on it for Tori thanks to my dear friend's very talented daughter Kyla.

Her hair was carefully braided in an elaborate braid by Aunt Adriana.

She received a white heart pearl bracelet to wear on her special day from Mom and Dad.

The display table adorned beautiful portraits of Tori in her white dress thanks to Laurice.

Garrett overfilled the font and flooded the bathrooms and hallway a half an hour before the baptism, but then delivered the most beautiful blessing on our daughter.

Everyone left with a white sugar cookie as a Thank You for attending Tori's special day.

We had all family members over to our yard for some great Mexican Food, glass bottled soda and a pinata for the kids.

It was a magical day and I couldn't have done it without everyone's help.

Thank you. I know Tori thanks you too.

We live in such a special place and we are so blessed to have such a special family that supports important events such as this.
