Here she is patiently waiting to open her gifts! We had her wait until evening & she was SO good about it!Another fun thing about turning 8, is that she was able to choose to be baptized! So, again, we had loads of family come and visit for the weekend! She was a total princess in the dress that Gramma C made for all the girl cousins to be baptized in! I think she felt special because she is the very first one to wear the dress. Aunt Missie made her some adorable bows that she chose to wear along with some fun jewelry from both Grandma Judy & Gramma C. It's hard to tell you how special it is to watch one of your children get baptized...it was just an amazing feeling to sit & watch her get baptized because she wants to follow Jesus!
Here's Abbie & Matt all ready in their white clothes!
Another picture of Matt & Abbie....this was right before heading back to the baptism font!
One more picture of Abbie...just by herself! Isn't she beautiful!
Thank you all who came and supported her on this special day! We love each & all of you!!

She looks so beautiful! I actually started to cry when I read about it. I wish SO much that we could have been there. I love you, Abbie. You will always have a special place in my heart because you were my very first little neice! I'm so glad that my kids have such an incredible example to follow. And Matt and Meshelle, you look like super proud parents! :) Love you guys!
What a fun idea to have the same dress for all of the girl cousins. Is there a boy version too? That's a bit trickier. Annie is such a pretty girl...What a great day

I LOVE the dress Raeanna made. It turned out so cute. A few years down the road I might be asking her for some advice on how to do the same. And Abbie looked like a little angel!
