She was so excited to be baptized and confirmed. We didn't have to be to the church until about 3:00 in the afternoon, but Rylee woke up at 6:00 and came in to wake Bill and I up. When we didn't hop right out of bed, she got all upset and walked out of our bedroom saying, "You need to get up! We have my hair to do and everyone to get ready for my baptism. UGH!" Bill and I rolled our eyes and went back to sleep for a few minutes.
The time finally came to get her ready. Once she was ready, I could just picture her singing, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty..."
We were all excited for her, so we decided to dress up for the occasion. ;)
And Bill was ready to baptize and confirm his first baby girl!
We had to get a couple of the classic shots that you always take before a baptism. The one of daddy and daughter outside the church before changing into their white clothes.
And the pictures of Rylee and her daddy all dressed in white before the program began.
Rylee thought it was so much fun to walk around the church house in her bare feet. Silly girl. The baptism and confirmation were wonderful. So many people came to support Rylee on her special day. It meant a lot to me to have so many people there to make Rylee feel so loved.
After we left the church, we had a little get-together at our home to celebrate the day. Rylee wanted baked potatoes, so baked potatoes it was. (I wasn't complaining. Those are SUPER DUPER easy!) We had so much fun having so many good friends and family members here that afternoon.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported Rylee. She felt so special and loved all day. Her baptism day was everything she had hoped for.

Congrats to Rylee! My son Mason was baptized on Saturday as well! What an exciting day!
She looked so cute!! I can't believe she was baptized, so sad how fast they grow up! We just love her.

She looks beautiful. Congratulations. Sorry we had to cancel at the last minute. We would have loved to be there but Alex had to finish his 4 hours of service for his Star advancement. Nothing like the last minute thing on Saturday morning:"ummm, mom, I have to have 4 hours of service by Sunday morning."
