Haley's Baptism

Haley was baptized on Feb. 27th with her great friend Tessa Paulsen. It was a wonderful day and the two girls sure enjoyed themselves (especially after they were baptized, they both kept giggling in the bathroom while we tried to get them into dry dresses)!!

The baptism girl herself. There were no dresses for the girls to be baptized in and Haley didn't want to be baptized in the jumpsuit they had, so my mom and I made her a simple skirt the night before. What we won't do for our children! Thanks Mom!

Haley and Tessa. These girls have a lot in common. They are both the only girls in their families, they go to the same elementary school, and they are only a couple of weeks apart in age. Tessa could have been baptized in January but she waited so that she could be baptized with Haley.

My mom got the towels for each of the girls and they sure came in handy!

My mom also got this cake from Sam's Club! I love their buttercream frosting! Yum!

Tessa's grandmother gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. As part of her talk, she read a book to the girls about the Holy Ghost. It was a really neat book.
My mom gave a talk on Baptism. She had some cheese whiz that she sprayed on the girls pictures to represent sin. She then used a white washcloth, representing baptism, to wipe away the cheese whiz. The girls really enjoyed that!
One of their Primary teachers, Sister Smith, gave the girls a bouquet of flowers. Their other Primary teacher, Sister Thompson, conducted the music and Nathan's Mom played the piano.
Haley with Grandpa and Grandma Bice. I know we have a picture of Haley with Grandpa and Grandma Taggart, but I couldn't find one. If I find one I will post it. It may be on their camera and we didn't get the pictures (send it to us if you've got one Grandpa T.!)
