Victoria's Baptism August 20, 2011

Victoria was baptized on her 8th birthday, Saturday, August 20, 2011 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Buckingham Branch Chapel.

I haven't completed this entire post yet, but need to move on. I will edit later. I plan to insert copy of the program here.

Robert spoke about Baptism. He did a great job and He gave us a copy of his talk.

It was really special to hear Victoria and Camila sing, "When I am Baptized"

The baptism went really well.

The water was warm, Dad said the prayer perfectly and Victoria went under the first time. (Not that it would have been a problem if you had to repeat it, but it was really nice and smooth)

Grandma spoke about the gift of the Holy Ghost and did a great job!

Victoria with the special cake that Geemaw made!

All of the kids were so well behaved during the baptism and program and were excited about the refreshments!

We were so thankful for the love and support of our family and friends! What an awesome turn-out!

 

It was so nice of the Hamilton's to share in our very special day!

Victoria, your parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends were so proud of you! What a special day for you and for our whole family! We love you!

And even though it was a special and spiritual day, we still didn't completely lose our sense of crazy. I threw up a time or two( what do you expect, I'm pregnant), Gee-maw and Pa-pa were late because of bad traffic, we broke a glass pitcher, and probably about 10 other things. Just a reminder that life doesn't have to be perfect to be great. It was a GREAT day!
