Samantha's Baptism

For the big finale of her 8th birthday, Samantha was baptized the Saturday after her birthday. She has been looking forward to being baptized for so long. We were sad that we couldn't have all of our family here with us, but were so glad that both sets of grandparents and my brother Michael were able to be here. We were also grateful for all of the friends that came out and supported Samantha on this special day.

Samantha was baptized and confirmed by her dad.

She loved wearing her baptism dress - she said she
felt like a princess in it.







She finally got her own set of scriptures and a journal.

Later that night we decided to go out and roast marshmallows.
It was a fun way to end a special day.
