Rebecca's Baptism

The invitation was sent out to her friends.

 

A photo shoot took place.

A picture after she got her little jumpsuit on.  I wanted to get the reflection like Kaylee's baptism picture but didn't have the right lense.

All of her grandparents were able to be here.  We only get to see the Thompson's a couple times a year.  So we were excited to have them with us.

I'm all about little reminders to help them remember their special day.  I LOVE towels that every time they use them, they can remember the first time they used it at their baptism.  Aunt Kathy AND Laura both made her special towels.  I actually used BOTH, one for her hair and the other to dry her off.  Later in the day she commented on how warm the water was and how soft the towels were.

Other reminders are the pictures in her baptism dress.  I frame a couple to use at the baptism, then use them at the luncheon, and then they go up in her room as decor.  Stephen and I give scriptures to the kids on the day of their baptism, once again another reminder.  Aunt Kristy gave Rebecca a little Hymnal and Aunt Alesha had sent a baptism bracelet, more reminders...

 

Speaking of reminders, there are so many fun FHE's to prepare for baptism.  One of my favorites is the baptism bag. 

Anyway, it was a beautiful day, the spirit was strong and Rebecca was happy!
