Ali's baptism

Ali's baptism was on Saturday April 9, 2011. She had been anxiously waiting for this day since she turned 8. Here she is right before we left for the church. Ali with mom, dad and Jace at the church.

I am usually good about taking many more photos but things were a little chaotic with all the people we had so I didn't even get a big group photo with everyone. Back at home, her is Ali with her sisters and brother (Jace wouldn't stay in his suit for photos).

We had a yummy lunch when everyone got back to the house. Here is Ali dishing up her 'I am special today' plate.

Aunt Angie helped cut the 5 foot sandwich.

Some of the group! Uncle David in the back is showing off his 'light' yogurt.

Ali looking at the journal Grandma Jackson gave to her.

Aunt Anjela made her some cute 'choose the right' blocks.

And, the long anticipated scriptures...... This was such a special day for Ali. She was beautiful in her white dress. She sang with Makenna and Emily while Lindsay played the piano 'If the Savior stood beside me' during the baptism program and she even had a little solo part. She did so great even though she was nervous. We are so grateful to have so much family and many friends that came to be here with us as we celebrated this day with Ali. She is such a good little girl and we are so happy that she chose to become of member of Christ's church.
