Daycee's Special Day!

On Saturday January 29, 2011 Daycee was baptizeda member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She had lots of support from her family and friends. Most of our guests drove more than four hours to attend this special occasion and we were very lucky to have them there with us.

When we arrived at the church, we learned that the hot water heater went out. So the water was going to be freezing cold! I was little concerned for Daycee but she was very brave.

This is her with her daddy before she was baptized.

Before we got started Aunt Anna and her girls gave Daycee a special white towel to use when she got out of the water.

Thank you Charlotte, Kalicia and Caroline!

The baptism was so sweet. Harly gave a talk on why we are baptized and bearing her testimony. When it was time to go in the water Daycee stepped her foot in and shook her head no at her dad. So Dayson had to carry her over, put her in the water, quickly say the prayer, get the okay from the witnesses and than lifted her back out of the water and handed her to me. She had tears rolling down her face during the prayer and was crying as we changed beacuse her feet hurt so bad. After taking off the wet clothes and putting the white warm towel around her she bursted into laughter. She was so happy to be baptized and glad to be warm again. She than got dressed in her beautiful white dress that grandma Merrill made for her and we joined everyone else back in the room. Aunt Anna and Aunt Kristie had fun music planned for the little kids and I am so grateful to them for preparing this for Daycee's special day. We watched a video about Daycee from birth and than Carson gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. He did such a good job and is a natural born speaker and talk preparer. He always amazes me with his knowledge of the gospel. The baptism ended with Daycee receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

After the baptism we had pizza and cake for every one. And of course picture time!
