Brenna's Baptism

We had a very special day in our family on June 4th.  We got home from a California vacation on the 3rd, then on the 4th, Brenna got baptized!  We are so proud of her for doing it, and it was a special day with a special spirit there.  It was our first kid to get baptized so it was new for us too.  She was lucky enough to have a bunch of family able to come, even lots from Canada, so that was special.  We missed a few though and we felt their absence also.  Here are a few pictures I took of her a couple of weeks before her baptism.  My sister got some better ones with her camera, but these I snapped on my phone.  I decided to make her a white dress last minute so I wanted some pictures of it! 

Her smile was getting cheesy, so we tried to not smile too!

This is her on the big day!  Before she got in her jumper.  She was nervous about everyone watching her, and tired of all of the pictures, but so pretty!

She didn't want everyone to see her in her jumper, but I think she looked just perfect! 

Jeremy's suit was a little short (of coarse) so he was bending!  

*almost* all of the family who were able to come!  Thanks for making her day extra special!

She had her Grandpa Smith give the talk on the Holy Ghost.  Another little girl named Shayden Scelzo got baptized on the same day so her family did the talk on baptism.  It was a very nice program and I felt the spirit as we went through it all. Her comments after include being scared of everyone watching her, and that mommy shouldn't have forgotten a towel (we had to wait for Shay to be done being baptized then for her to get dried off then ask to borrow her towel!) and that it felt good.  She is proud of her new scriptures, and fancy scripture bag and the pretty baptism jewelry she has, and also she's very proud of the blankets she got and the towel from the primary.  

We also enjoyed having a few families over afterwards along with some or our family!  The Dilworth's, the Skidmores, and the Thomas's came over after to help us celebrate and we had a lot of fun!  It's been a whirlwind, but a good one!  Loving the memories!
