A Blessing and A Baptism

Today John David received a name and a blessing. We were so glad to have Grandaddy, Paw Paw, and Mark Clifford stand in as Aaron gave him a beautiful blessing.



My handsome men.



This was what John David did during his blessing. He did great.



Grandma and Grandaddy with their newest grandchild. We're so glad they were able to come for this special day.



After the blessing, we then had Katie's baptism. Here she is with her baptism gifts.



With Daddy before they changed.



With Daddy at the font after they changed and getting some last minute instructions.



Me with my sweet girl. I can't believe she's eight!



Katie with Maw Maw and Paw Paw...........



......and Grandma and Grandaddy.



With Aunt Amy and Jaimee.



Here she is with Aunt Melissa and Ethan. Aunt Melissa spoke on the Holy Ghost and did a great job.



Aunt Kristie sang "Walk Tall You're A Daughter of God" and also did a wonderful job.



Sweet sisters.



Here is Katie with her friend Payton that she met when she started kindergarten. She also had one other non-member friend there, Danni Kay, but we weren't able to get a picture with her.



These are the girls that Katie wanted to sing "When Jesus Christ Was Baptized" with her at her baptism. It was so sweet.



It was such a wonderful day and everything went really well. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it such a great day for us all!

Congrats Katie! I can't believe she is 8! Wasn't I just babysitting her as a 2-year-old yesterday?
