I have a lot of blogging to catch up on, but I wanted to make sure this was blogged now.
This past Saturday, February 2, 2013, my little Gabby was baptized a member of our church! It was absolutely beautiful and perfect. (If you don't mind 12 degree weather and a blizzard!) It was a little treacherous to get to the church because the weather was really bad, but we all made it there safely and were able to enjoy a very lovely program. My mom and sister Tori had come the week before and Nate's mom and step dad flew in the night before. It was so nice to be able to share such a special event with so many loved ones (although we missed all the ones that were not able to make it).
Gabby wanted to be baptized in a dress, like I was, instead of the jump suit. So, I made a really simple one and she was happy with it.
I am so proud of this young lady! She really was so ready for this day and I had to keep reminding myself that she was only 8. She is just so mature for her age! We had the sister missionaries come give her a special baptism lesson and she gave half of it for them! They were amazed at her knowledge and depth of preparation.
Isn't she so adorable?!
Gayle got Gabby this beautiful dress for after and I thought she looked like an angel!
It was a wonderful and monumental event in our home and I am just so grateful that I get to be the mother of this amazing young lady! I love you Gabby girl!
