Vivi's Baptism

We have a tradition in our family that the week before someone gets baptized, they get a "special" cookie for each day of that week. The first day is a "B" (for baptism) cookie, and we talk about what baptism means. The next day is an "A" cookie, then a "P" cookie and so on. Doing this has given Trent and I a great opportuniy to talk with our kids about the importance of baptism before they get baptized.
"B" is for Baptism.
"A" is for Atonement.
"P" is for Priesthood.
"T" is for Testimony.
"I" is for Immersion.
"S" is for Sacrament.
"M" is for Missionary.
Getting ready.  Buds was so sweet to help Vivi get her dress buttoned up.
Cute siblings.  Preston was so excited for Vivi's special day.  He even let me comb his hair, which is almost unheard of.
 The big day!  Vivi was supposed to be baptized the end of September, but we wanted to make sure all the grandparents could be there, so she ended up being baptized on November 3 instead.  We were so excited Great grandma Chapman could come!

 My girl and her daddy.
 Vivi had lots of people come to support her on her special day.  From left to right we've got Janet, Steve, Kristie, Sean, Grandma Guercio, Vivi in the front, Dustin, Jilly, Trent, Grandma Chapman, Colson, Jan, Trenton, Mike, me and Preston.
Jilly's favorite part of the day; dessert.  It was such a wonderful day.  We are so grateful for our sweet Vivi, and for the wonderful decision she made to be baptized.
