Baptism Day April 26th

Thank you everyone who came and supported Alyssa, and our whole family really.  It was a beautiful day and I'm so proud of my girl!

 Behind us are 3 white dresses:  The dress Alyssa and Mikayla were both blessed in, the dress myself, Aunt Meg and Aunt Jenny were all baptized in,  and Grandma Williams' temple/wedding dress which she and I were both endowed in.  I hope someday she wears the same dress when she goes to the temple.

 What a blessing!  Alyssa was able to have all 6 of her living great-grandparents at her baptism.  She had all her great-grandmothers participate in the program: GG Adamson played the piano, GG Wood said a prayer, GG Williams said a prayer and GG Blomquist conducted the music.  Not only are these women talented but they are great examples of strong, righteous woman for Alyssa to look up to.

 This girl has a special relationship with her dad and was so happy to have him baptize her.  I like this picture the best but we do have the more traditional pose for posterity's sake.

Finally, this is the video I made to show while Alyssa was changing into dry clothes.  If you don't have time to watch the whole thing, skip to the last 35 seconds or so where she bears beautiful testimony of her decision to be baptized and her faith in the Savior.  Makes me cry everytime!
