Baptism Day

Avery was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Saturday, July 5th. We were lucky to have some family join us here in Tennessee for the event - my parents, Merrick's mom, Merrick's sister, and her husband. Can you believe that the weather was PERFECT?! Like 80 degrees, perfectly sunny, not too humid? I was in heaven. Last year when the Wells came for the 4th it was a wet mess, the year before apparently it was a record breaking 102 degrees. Somehow we got it right this year! Woohoo!

Here is the Baptism Announcement I gave out to friends, family, and ward members.

Then a few days before the baptism we went down to the field in our neighborhood that has beautiful wildflowers. We took some pics. Here is the one I framed for her baptism day. 

And here are a few more I edited and liked. I'm not very good at editing. I just used an app on my phone and I took the pics with my phone, too, haha but I thought they were cute.

On her baptism day we took a few family pictures before the baptism.

Here's the Baptism girl.

And here she is with her daddy, who baptized her. 

Here is a copy of the program I made up for the Baptism.

She was baptized with a girl from another ward. It was a good amount of kids. Sometimes when there are 3 or more kids getting baptized it makes for a lengthy program.

Everything went very smoothly and we had a great time. We invited everyone over for lunch afterwards but there were only two families from the ward who came so we had a lot of extra food. I made pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, cole slaw, sliced watermelon, chips, and fruit pizza for dessert. It was all very yummy.

Here's a pic Lindsey took with her husband and Avery after the baptism. So sweet.

Thanks to our family for coming out and supporting Avery on her special day!
