Anyway, right after dinner, we headed over for a 6:00 baptism. Maggie and her dad took a few pictures. She is wearing the same dress that all of her Westover aunts wore and all of her girl cousins have worn.
(Oh, Jillian, take a serious picture please......)
The baptismal service was wonderful. Her Grandpa Millar gave the talk on baptism, the four girls sang "When Jesus Christ Was Baptized" and then, Maggie was baptized by her dad. Maggie was just radiant when I met her in the bathroom to change out of her wet clothes. Her Grandma Walburger gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and then, her dad confirmed her a member of the church and gave her the gift of the Holy Ghost. It was a wonderful evening...one of the best. Thanks to all that came to support Maggie; she felt your love! I'm so grateful to be able to raise my children in the Gospel!
Following the baptism, all of the sisters and their cousins gathered in our bedroom to watch a movie. Note the big grin on Maggie's face!
Yay Maggie! How exciting! She looks so sweet and absolutely radiant. And I love the ladybug cake =)
ReplyDeleteIt was an honor to be able to attend the baptism. I'm just glad the 4 of us were feeling better so we could go! Dave is sorry he missed out. The whole meeting I was thinking how strange it will be to be at Andrew's baptism one day. He and Ellie are both so excited to get baptized too. I'm glad they got to go and see Maggie and feel the special spirit that was there.
ReplyDeleteWe wish we could have been there! We miss all of you. Tell Maggie congratulations! The dress is beautiful on her.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Maggie! We're gearing up for little Einar's Baptism ourselves next month. Wow, can you believe how fast our little ones are growing up??
