Halle's Baptism Day

Saturday Halle was baptized! It ended up be a great day. After she woke up at 6 am throwing up, we said many prayers that she would be able to feel well enough to go to her own baptism. Just ten minutes before we had to leave, she was still feeling pretty bad as I tried to fix her hair. We did the best we could and got her dressed and just like that, she was feeling much better. The pictures reveal how pale she was, but she made it through the baptism and felt fine for a few hours afterwards then started feeling sick again.
Such a pretty girl in her special white dress!
Before the baptism, in front of the font with Wesley and Rod.

Rod suggested that Halle have Wesley baptize her since he was old enough to do so. I was a little shocked. I thought Rod would want to baptize his only girl, but he unselffishly thought that it would be an awesome experience for Wes and he was right. It was a great experience for everyone who witnessed it!
These four cute neighborhood friends, shared a very special day! I think it is something they will cherish forever.

Our whole family is very proud of the decision Halle made to be baptized!! WE sure love you Halle!!

A big thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for making the trip down to share Halle's special day with her.A big thanks to Aunt Sherri for sharing her testimony with us all. Thank you too all our family who joined us for such a special occassion!!
