What a special day it was to celebrate Lizzy's baptism! She was so very excited to get baptized! It was a neat experience for Kevin to get to baptize his little girl too! We are so very proud that Lizzy wanted to take the next step and make that commitment. She has been wanting it for a really long time, anytime any of her friends or cousins would get baptized she would get sad because she wanted to too.
Lizzy got scriptures for us for her baptism and she loved them so much. She picked blue like her Daddy's scriptures. It was cute because after she got them she spent a whole bunch of time just reading them. She also asked us if we could start reading regular scriptures now rather than the scripture stories that we had been reading together as a family. It is fun to have her and Nellie be able to participate in the reading. Janie does too, she repeats it.
She really did love them a lot. In fact the other day she asked if she could take them to school and share them when she was the star student and they have to share something that is very special to them. It makes me so happy that her scriptures are so special to her!
I forgot to get a picture at the church, big surprise, so I made the girls stay in their dresses until Russ woke up from his nap to get a picture together.
We were glad that we could have some family come, Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grandma Smith and Aunt Judy came to celebrate with us, along with some friends from our old ward. We had a nice meal afterwards, I made Lasagna because that is what Lizzy asked for. It was a very special day!

Lizzy is such a spiritual girl and getting baptized is the next step for her. We love her so much. She is such a great example to us of what a child of God is. Love that she loves her scriptures and I'm sure she will continue to take care of them and read them. So glad that her baptism day was what she hoped it would be. So happy that she continue's to CTR!
