Mackenzie's Baptism

Last weekend Mackenzie was baptized by her dad. She was so excited and we are so proud of her for making this decision. I took a few pictures of her in her dress a while back. I just haven't gotten around to editing them. I finally got a few done. Hopefully one of these days I will get to the rest of them! We took some outside with her pink sweater on and these ones have got to be my favorite but this is the only one I've got edited so far..

all ready to go!!
she was confirmed by Grandpa Anderson

Mackenzie with her best friend Jaydee and her cousin Sara.

After the baptism, we had lunch at the church. My kids were so excited having some cousins there to play with. I think they all had a good time!
Jaxon, Gavin, and Rylee. I don't know where Alek was hiding- I didn't get any pictures of him.
Avery, Joye, and Tylor in their tutus

Rylee was teaching them a song. It was so cute!
Mackenzie got new scriptures, earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace from Dallas and I, a bracelet and a ceramic figurine from Grandma Anderson, a bracelet from her primary teacher, and a necklace and earrings from aunt Jeannie. She was pretty excited!
We also had her name embroidered on a white towel. It has a cute poem that goes along with it.

It was a pretty good day! Thanks to everyone who came and supported her. It means a lot to us. You all helped make her day extra special!
