Okay so I have a couple of pics of the event, however my memory card was erased who knows how. But my mom and sister have some pics. As I get them I will put them up. She really did look radiant.
Okay so if you know Abbey, she was a little nervous about being dunked backwards upside down in a tank of water. Now thank goodness for Brent, he has a way with her that I just don't.
We did her hair all pretty so we wouldn't have to fight it after she got out of the water(Very tender headed). Not trying to brag but it was really pretty. Her dress was gorgeous.
Her interview with the branch president went well. And she came out and said she had "passed".
My family and Brents family were all there in attendance. My friend Janine who is not a member, even brought her girls to support Abbey.
The talks were great. Grandma Rosie spoke about Baptism, and my friend L
iz who was Abbey's teacher for a while spoke on the holy ghost. They were both amazing talks and I thank them both for doing it.
True to the Bowmans side, Abbey was dunked 3 times. One Brent said the prayer a little off. The second time he said it wrong again and Abbey's foot came up. The third time is the charm. She said to Brent after the first time that it was a piece of cake to be dunked backwards.
Katelyn played an amazing arrangement of My Heavenly Father Loves Me while Abbey was getting dressed. Thank you for all of your hard work Katelyn!
After the baptism we came back to the house for some desserts and of course presents. Abbey got scriptures from us, a case from Grandma Rosie and Grandad. She got some really nice pieces of jewelry from Pennie, Debbie, Stacey and our babysitter Sarah. Thank you all for the great gifts. She keeps all the jewelry in her new box that Liz got for her. It is beautiful.
After the dessert, we had a bbq with the family and of course it was like Christmas with presents for her. We all had a great time being together as a family for a while. It rained the entire time my family was here, and was sunny for one day while Brent's family was still in town. Oh well I guess I can't complain. No body came for the weather right? They wanted to support Abbey and the weather was a plus.
Thank you for supporting our oldest this year. We look forward to doing it again next year for Hunter and the year after for Caroline.
