Abby's Birthday and Baptism

ABBY'S BIRTHDAY

Abby really wanted a Frozen party, but unfortunately I put off my shopping until last minute.  When I did go, all the stores were sold out of Frozen stuff.  When I told her, she was very mature about it and agreed to have a LEGO Friends party instead.  It was a family party, so instead of games, we just had fun building with LEGOs together.

Abby got a new 2-wheeler bike that she is excited to learn how to ride.

ABBY'S BAPTISM PHOTOS

Here's Abby's baptism invitation, but I also wanted to include some of the other photos I took of her, because she's so cute.  

ABBY'S BAPTISM

Abby had a beautiful baptism.  A lot of our friends from both the Badger Mountain and Kennewick Park wards came to support her, as well as our next door neighbors the Mullers.  Her Grandma Donaldson gave a beautiful talk on the baptismal covenant and her Grandma Collett spoke about the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  Her grandpas were witnesses and Jared baptized her and gave her the gift of the Holy Ghost.  There was a beautiful spirit throughout the program.  We are proud of her and her decision to follow Christ in her life.

AFTER THE BAPTISM

We gathered for cookies and juice after the baptism.  Unfortunately some naughty kids that were in the building for a wedding luncheon came in and ate a plate of cookies and drank almost all of the juice.  Luckily their grandma gave us cookies to replace the ones her grandkids ate, and we had enough cookies for everyone.  Here's a picture of Abby with Maddy and their friends June and Logan.

Abby wanted me to take a picture of the flowers I got for her baptism because she thought they were really pretty.

The kids had fun playing with their cousins and Uncle Craig in the backyard.

The rest of us enjoyed visiting in the shade.

Abby was excited to get a Disney LEGO set from her Grandma.
