Olivia's Baptism

I just want to eat this girl up. Ah . She kills me with her cuteness. 

It was a special day today watching Olivia get baptized by her Dad. My heart is full. I'm feeling so much love both for my own family, for my sweet daughter, who made the choice to be baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints today, for my husband, who was able to baptize and confirm Olivia, for our children, who, though squirmy, and at times unruly, did pretty good for little wiggly bodies through the baptismal service, and for family and friends that came out to support us on Olivia's special day. It was such a beautiful day.

After Olivia came out of the water she smiled and hugged her dad. She looked so sweet and beautiful, and I was reminded of how lucky I am to be her mother. I'm so lucky to be her mother. I can't say that enough. The older she gets, the more I realize what a truly unique and special little girl she is. She's going to make a difference in this world with her desire to learn, her desire to reach out to the one lonely person, and her desire to do good. 

It was so neat to have Grandma Brown, Grandpa and Grandma Paxman, and her Aunt Jenny there along with lots of other family and friends.

It was so nice having the help from my Mom and mother in law with the food and kids and things. It's been a great week full of some good memories like watching Home alone for the first time with Liv and watching her face just light up in anticipation. Also Ruby turned 1. I will do a post on that later hopefully. Life is so sweet.
