baptism day

Makenna was baptized on Saturday and it was such an amazing day. We started with a BIG breakfast per Makenna's request. We had a lot of family traveling to Medford, so we invited them all over to share raspberry truffle pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and sausage with us.

Makenna slipped into her pretty white dress, and we headed to the church for her big day. More family and friends joined us as Makenna was baptized by her Dad, and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. While Makenna was changing back into her dress, we had our family and friends write a letter to Makenna that we plan on binding into a book. She was given lots of loving words and advice in those letters, what a treasure they will be for her to look back and use as a tool as she works her way through this life.

We love you, Makenna and are proud of the big choice you made to be baptized!





Makenna was so excited to be baptized by her dad.  These two are the sweetest
together.  Makenna looks up to Ben in the all the best ways, and wants to make him happy
all the time.  I'm so glad that she loves her Dad so much, and is able to have him be a part of 
her special day.  We love you Makenna!  Keep making such good choices, and keep letting your Mom and Dad be in your corner cheering you on!
