It's Great to be Eight...

Rhenley's 8th birthday fell on a Saturday, it was extra special because Rhenley was able to be baptized on her birthday, and extra-extra special to share her baptism with Lucas' cousin's daughter, Lydia!

We had so much family and friends come to support Rhenley & Lydia, it was such a special day! (I love this picture, here's everyone trying to fit into the tiny baptismal font room... LOL)
Here are some fun pictures of some of our family and friends who were at the baptism... (Rhenley was pictured out by the time I was done with her:) )
Luke's mom, Grandma Jiggy, made Rhenley's dress (in less then a week:)) It was gorgeous, so special for Rhenley!
Congratulations Rhenley, we love you, and are so proud of the decision you made to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you are such a special daughter of our Heavenly Father, he loves you, and so do we:) Just a side note, later that day we gave Rhenley her new set of scriptures, she was so excited to have her own special scriptures (she has read every day since... and is starting in Genesis of all places...:) so proud of this girl, she makes me want to do better, to be better! She says to us the other day, "I like reading the scriptures, they're long, so it takes a while, and I always have something to read about..."

Happy birthday, Rhenley! I love that she was baptized on her birthday. That makes it so easy to remember. How fun to be baptized with someone you know. I like your picture of the crowd. I'm sure the other half was in the hallway. I think our Stake Center needs a bigger room. =)

Glad we were able to come for her baptism. Such a special day even if I look deathly--LOL!!
