Abby's Big Day

Abby was baptized on March 4th 2011! What an exciting day for our family! She had tons of family that was able to come and share in her big day, but because I was trying to make everything perfect I forgot to take hardly any pictures. We had a hard time choosing the perfect dress, but I love the one we ended up with! It's hard to see in the picture but there was tons of detail. I made some fabric flowers that we added also some pearls and extra lace. It was all white with ivory accents! I would have loved to get a picture of her in her dress with her hair down, but once again I'm a slacker and didn't think about it.

Abby was so excited that day! You could see how happy she was all day! She was also very surprised how many people came to see her get baptized I never would have thought it would make such a huge impression on her but that was all she kept talking about!

The primary presidency brought her over a white towel with her name on it.  They also had a bunch of index cards in a little box that all Abby's guest's could write her a little message on while we waited for her to change her clothes. What a great idea, she thought that was so neat she loved reading through them that night.

We had a huge party after the baptism with all Abby's friends and family. She received so many special gifts and also a journal that she has been writing in. Gram and Papa are famous for these cute little candy bar posters and she was so glad it was finally her turn to get one!

We are so proud of Abby's decision to get baptized! She is growing up so fast and it's fun watching her make such good choices and being such a great example! Love you girl!
