Eight Is So Great Part 2

In our family as well as many others, turning eight is a huge milestone. Turning eight means that you are baptised and confirmed a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. When you turn eight Grandma DeeLo gives you your very own set of scriptures. She has given them to me and her other grandchilderen and she is now continuing that tradition with her greats! Mikie had been anxiously awaiting this day since she was really young. She was beyond prepared to be baptized. She has a vast knowledge of the gospel and a thirst for learning from the scriptures. She is a sponge soaking up all the information up she can. I am so impressed with her decision to follow our Savior's example and be baptized.
The only weekend that Mike had off was Thanksgiving weekend and so many of our family traveled out after their Thanksgiving feasts to enjoy this special event with us. It means the world to us that our loved ones are willing to travel so far to support us and I am so fortunate to have a ward family and friends that I consider family that all came to support us. After cooking all day for turkey day and then preparing food for the luncheon, I didn't want to set foot in the kitchen for the rest of my life! Craziness!

Mikie had asked her aunt Rondee and her Grandma Betta to speak at her baptism. They both did such amazing jobs. Mikie picked For The Beauty Of The Earth and This Is My Beloved Son for the opening and closing songs and we played a little video while Mikie changed. I have posted the video for your veiwing pleasure.
