Christen's Baptism

Saturday was a big day for our family - especially for Christen. She was baptised!! We were so excited and a little emotional for me because she is the baby. It was a wonderful event. Grandma C was here of course, as well as Todd's parents, many ward members and our friend Denise from next door. Christen was baptised with two other church friends and that was nice.

Todd was well prepared and the spirit was strong. It went without a hitch until I went to help her change. OK - this would only happen to me. I went to unzip the jumpsuit and it was stuck. REALLY stuck - like we tried over and over again and my friend Lecia was in the bathroom and she tried for awhile - all as poor Christen was shivering! I finally decided we needed some scissors to cut the back out and get her dry! We did that and got her ready for the confirmation. I hope that this is not the only thing she remembers about her baptism when people ask!!

It really was a wonderful day and we had a nice family dinner afterwards. Congratulations Christen! We love you and Heavenly Father loves you too!

What great pictures to remember a special day!
I remember feeling "old" when Justin, our oldest, was baptized. I will be ancient by the time Sarah is! :)
