Great to be Eight!!!!!

My Monica Rose was baptized on Saturday, January 8th. She was supposed to be baptized on January 1st at 1:00. I know getting baptized on 1-1-11 at 1:00 would have been cool but it didn't happen. In fact another lady in the stake called and asked if she could have the time and date so they could get the 1-1-11 at 1:00. She got it. We had already decided to switch the date due to family. What is important all in all is that she got baptized.

Before we went to the church. This is the dress she actually got baptized in. Our ward provides it. And her hair back in a braid so it won't come out of the water.

Her with her favorite picture of Jesus in our front room. Cute girl.

After we got home. She is officially baptized. I forgot my camera at the church. Luckily my FIL got a few pictures but I haven't seen them yet. Such a pretty girl.

Again with her favorite picture. :)

I took her shopping for this dress. She loves sparkles and glitter. I let her pick this dress out. I call it her "miniature wedding dress." She loves it. When we were shopping the store had gloves, hair accessories, and gloves prom dresses. I mean it is her type of store. She asks me, "Can I get some long gloves?" I tell her "No." Then she asks, "Can I have a tiara?" I answer "No" again. My heavens child!! It's your baptism, not your wedding. Now shopping for her wedding dress really scares me. ;)

It was a really great weekend. She was able to have both sets of grandparents up for it and her Grandma Kitty was able to talk on baptism and her Grandpa Schwartz gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. And Grandpa Jake and Grandpa Schwartz were able to witness her baptism. Even the giggle that we heard when she came out of the water. :)

A very special day indeed.
