Aubrey's Baptism Day

Because of the timing of Aubrey's birthday, our move to Montana, and stake baptisms; we asked for special permission to have Aubrey's baptism before our move, with her family and friends.

 So, yesterday on December 17, 2011 Aubrey was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.   It was a special day.  She looked absolutely angelic in her new beautiful white dress (thank you Heather!)  and real pearl necklace from Grandma and Grandpa Barton who are serving a mission in Nauvoo right now.

  She sat reverently, listening carefully to each talk, and she said, in the bathroom as I fixed her hair and put her in her beautiful new dress, "Mommy, I feel so warm and happy".  What a wonderful moment for me, as her mom, to have with her.

She had many of her friends and family members come for her special day.  Bishop Jeppesen and Britain Jeppesen;  Bob and Lilly Threlkeld; Kevin and Braedyn Standerfer; Jacob, Heather, Brenan, Shaylin, and Kyen Mayhew; Heidi, Wynn, Alea and Weston Christensen; Justin Barton; Eva, Mathan, May, Ellen, Thomas and Lilly Tenney, Grandma and Grandpa Peterson, and Andrew Peterson.  And here is a picture of all the cousins and siblings that were there:

L to R:  Brenan, Kyen, Jay, Nathan, Weston, Ellen, Alea, Thomas, Aubrey, Lilly, Shaylin, Emily, May, and Betsy.

She also got a picture with her Grandma and Grandpa Peterson.

And here is the final shot, later that day back at home with our whole family on Aubrey's day. 

I love my sweet Aubrey and am so proud of her for her decision to be baptized. 

WE LOVE YOU AUBREY SUE!!!!
