Afton's Baptism


What a special, special day! I don't think I've ever seen a little girl so excited to get baptized. She had been counting down the days and couldn't wait for Saturday, March 26th. She was also super spoiled because she had all of her family come from Utah even though the weather was terrible and the freeway was shut down for a night. They still made it and she was so happy that they were able to come to her baptism. We are just so proud of her and her decision to get baptized. She is such a super sweet girl with an unbelievable testimony of the gospel. She loves her family so much and cares about her little brothers like she's there 2nd mom. She really cares about others and is always concerned about their feelings. She loves to spend time reading and she loves learning about the gospel. I've found her in her bedroom at night reading her scriptures. She's such a sweetheart and we love her so much!!

Can you tell how excited she was?
The best family picture we could get. Logan is such a stinker for pictures now.

Just after her baptism all wet and super soaked but look at that smile on her face. I had a friend recommend snapping this picture. She said that she wish she would've had her camera to catch this special moment. And I'm really glad that I did.
With her cousins Abby and Emma.
She was the only one getting baptized in our ward that day (we don't do stake baptisms) so we were able to display her beautiful baptism pictures. Her beautiful white dress was a gift from her Grandma Sharon. Thank you!
Afton with her proud mommy!
