She got to pick out her baptism clothing and opted for this dress as opposed to the white jumpsuits.

This picture is right after she was baptized and dressed in her pretty dress. Nice and clean!
She was also lucky enough to go first so we didn't have to wait and the bathroom was dry and uncrowded to change her clothes. She had Grandpa Jerry and Grandpa Herbie be the witnesses when she was baptized.
Our family at the stake center after the baptism. It was a wonderful day shared with lots of family and friends. A big thank you to everyone who came to be with Kendyl on her special day and also a big thank you to those who couldn't make it, but were here in spirit.
She got beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl on her special day. We even got to make her own programs--she picked pink paper. She asked her Tutu to give the talk on the Holy Ghost and Grandma played the piano, Aunt Kaylene led the music and Papa Jack said the closing prayer.
Pictures with family and friends right after the baptism. She had a smile on her face the entire day! We're so proud of you, Kendyl, for being the wonderful person that you are and the righteous choices you've made.
After the baptism, we had a big party at our house. We barbequed and had lots of yummy food and even made homemade rootbeer. It was lots of fun to relax and visit with friends and family and let the cousins and friends have time to play.
On Sunday, we all headed to church for sacrament meeting and then we all went to primary to hear Brityn give her first talk. She talked on the Holy Ghost and did an awesome job! We came home to have lunch and then said goodbye to aunts, uncles and cousins. Sunday night I played with the stake orchestra for our easter concert and it was nice to have grandparents come listen and help Steve out with all the kids. Thanks to everyone for coming and making it a really enjoyable and special weekend for our family! We love you!!!

Wow what a fun jam packed weekend. Emma had her own baptism too. She was the only one in the Stake and it was her birthday!!
I love the collage of pictures. Looks you all had a great time. I loved the concert by the way. :)
Alexis opted for the dress too and I loved it! She looked so much more elegant than being in a jumpsuit! Looks like a fun weekend!
