Baptism Day

Eliza has been waiting for this day for a long time. She is the last one in her primary class to be baptized. You would never know that this little girl is normally very uncomfortable being in the spotlight. She loved every minute. It was a beautiful experience for her and for our family. She asked for both of her Grandpa's to give talks, Gabrielle and Christiana to sing her favorite song, "I Love to See the Temple," and her Daddy, Aunt and Uncles to sing as well. Spencer gave the opening prayer, Grandma Nielson gave the closing, Grandma Krogh played the piano, Gabrielle lead the music, and Uncle Kinley conducted the meeting since he is in the bishopric. It worked out perfectly. :)

Grandma hates this picture, but too bad, she and Christiana are adorable.


11 of Eliza's cousins were there along with her sibs for the special day.


Christiana brought her best bud Anna; we loved having her. It was sweet of her to support Eliza.


The kiddos!


How wonderful to have both sets of Grandparents there!

Eliza got her scriptures from her Gpa and ma Nielson. She was reading them after she was baptized and said, "I like how they start with "In the beginning..... instead of, Once upon a time...." Classic. She wanted to take them everywhere she went, even to La Parilla. She said she wished it was church everyday.

She is glowing. You can tell she totally gets what's going here. What a precious girl.

And Grandma N looks hot. What is she talking about? You all look fab.

Wish we could've joined in the cousin pic. Tell her we love her!
