Baptism

Cassidy was baptized and confirmed on Oct. 9.  Cameron baptized and confirmed her.  He always does such a wonderful job.  I love to hear the blessings he gives.  He was so nervous!  Cassidy was so excited, she talked about it none stop the whole week.  Making a schedule, what she was going to wear, what jewelry, how she wanted her hair, glitter toes, how to hold her hands during the baptism, who would come...on and on she went. 

I wish you could take pictures of the baptism.  The look on her face when she came out of the water was so beautiful.  She is so cute.  I am so proud of her and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming.  She is excellent with her brothers and sisters.  She is a great friend to everyone and loves to be right in the middle of everything.  She is ecstatic to be involved in activity days (this is for 8-10 year old girls).  She is beautiful inside and out!  She is doing wonderful in 3rd grade!  She is also getting better and better at the piano.

 Our wonderful neighbor, Hillary, did Cassidy's glitter toes and hair.  She knows that I am challenged when it comes to hair.  :)  Thanks Hillary!  Cassidy always feels like a princess when you do this for her. 

There is no way I could have done this!  A heart shaped french braid!  Everyone commented on it and asked who did it!  (They knew I couldn't!)

I knew I wouldn't have been able to pull off a party after the baptism because we had been at my Grandma's funeral all day and the viewing the night before.  So we opted to be duds and not do anything after with all the family.  We did however take Cassidy to dinner, her choice.  She wanted to go to Olive Garden as long as she could order dessert.  The boys and the twins stayed with Grandma Cathy.  It was fun to just be with Cassidy and not have to worry about everyone else.  We had a great time.

We love you Cassidy!!  You are doing a great job!
