It was a perfect day for a baptism - with white snow everywhere, clear roads, and a beautiful blue sky!
Thank you Karla for the gorgeous white roses! Ashlyn loved them and felt so special getting the delivery just for her!
Nate probably would have preferred the 4:00 baptism time yesterday AFTER his nap, opposed to the 12:30 baptism right at nap time. He wasn't too bad. He even let the Bishop hold him during the actual baptism.
Ashlyn fasted for the first time today and it was soooooooooooooooo hard! I told her she could put anything that she wanted to eat on her plate to have ready to eat right after the prayer. She chose a leftover piece of her birthday cake. So that's what she started with. Then we had potato-veggie-cheese soup in sourdough breadbowls. She was SO happy to get to eat.

Congrats to Ash!!! Hope it was a great experience for her...she sure does look happy! The pictures with the snow in the background are georgeous...but maybe a little cold ;) The soup in sourdough bread bowls looks yummy...very CA. It seemed you couldn't get away from it in CA when we lived there! And fasting...pretty impressive for an 8 year old!
Congrats Ashlyn! What a fun and memorable day. I miss you guys! We were supposed to get an inch of snow last night. It didn't happen, but they closed the schools anyway.
Ashlyn looks so beautiful and grown up. She'll have an even more memorable baptism day since she had to wait an extra day. Congratulations to Ashlyn and her parents.
Congrats Ash!!! You look so grown up!!! Wish we could have been there! looks like it was a GREAT day!! Love you tons!!
Congrats Ashlyn! It looked cold, but I think it snowed on Andrea's baptism too (and that was in Cali!) What a beautiful dress, and how neat that she could fast. That's tough at any age!
