Lily's Baptism Day

Baptism Day!

July 11th, 2015 was a very special day.  It was Lily's baptism day.  I don't think the baptism could have been more perfect.  The weather was beautiful, my family was all together, the baptism girl was glowing and the spirit at the baptism was so strong and so sweet.  It is a day I will remember forever and I hope Lily will too.  It was so nice to catch a small glimpse of the love God has for each one of us that day.

We took heaps of pictures before the baptism.  I seriously feel like I saw a hint of the celestial kingdom.

 These two look angelic here.

I love these five people more than anything else in this world!  I am beyond happy that I am sealed to them for time and all eternity.

 I am so blessed!!

 I love these kids so much!  The greatest blessings in my life.  They are worth every sacrifice I have ever made.  There is nothing this world can offer that could even compare to the joy that comes from family and motherhood.

 My heart could burst!

 I was so grateful and overwhelmed with the family support who woke up super early and drove really far to support our Lillian.  She is so very loved!  Oh to be surrounded by people who love you! There is no better feeling.  It is a huge blessing that I often take for granted being from such an amazing, supportive family.

We were glad Grandma Avonell could be there for Lillian Avonell's baptism.

 Group photo!  Seriously, such an awesome family!!!!

 These Rappleye grandkid photos are so funny!  I love them!

 This one is my fav...so many great things happening here.  Sterling striking a pose, Sofie telling on Myla for not sharing her crackers, Ava shielding her eyes from who knows what!  LOLOL!

 After the baptism, we all had lunch in our backyard.  Then the cousins were nice enough to fulfill Lily's summer dream of everyone going swimming with her at the aquatics center.  Thank you everyone for your love and support!

At the end of the day, we were all pretty tuckered out...especially Will!
