Lily's Baptism July 4, 2015


Lily was baptized on the 4th of July. She was excited to have fireworks on her baptism day. The night before her baptism she was not feeling well so we took her to insta care at 9pm and she had strep throat. We ran and got an antibiotic but they usually don't kick in for 24 hours and her baptism was in the morning. Jon gave her a blessing that she would feel good on her baptism day and that she wouldn't get anyone sick. She woke up the next morning feeling great. It was a beautiful day. Her baptism was wonderful. The program is pictured below. Lily chose who did everything for her program. Calvin played a piano piece that he composed just by hearing the song on Pandora. Lily had to be baptized twice because she was so comfortable with Jon dunking her that she let her toe pop up out of the water. Jon also confirmed her and gave her a beautiful blessing. The part that stood out to me was that she would develop her spiritual gifts. She looked absolutely beautiful in her baptism dress. The baptism pictures that I took of her a few weeks ago are also pictured. The rest of the day we had so much fun with family at our house playing games, singing happy birthday to Lily, walking to the park and lighting fireworks in the Cul de sac. It was a wonderful day. We love our beautiful Lily bug and we are so proud of her decision to be baptized.
