Maren's Baptism

I know that I am a little behind in my report on Maren's baptism. It went really well. Heather and Yvonne came over with their crew of dogs, which was really fun for the kids. They came over the night before for Maren's Birthday and Yvonne gave Maren her beautiful white dress for her special day.
On Sunday we met grandma and grandpa Thompson and aunt Debbie at the church, which after church we had the baptism. It went flawlessly. Mommy, Bonnie, played the piano for the hymns and special musical number, "Baptism", in the middle, also sung by Debs (who did a great job singing). G'pa gave the opening prayer, G'ma Von gave the talk on baptism, Daddy (Sean) baptized and confirmed Maren a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, G'ma Thompson did the talk on the gift of the holy ghost, and Heather gave the closing prayer.
Maren said that the water was really cold. While G'ma Thompson was giving her talk on the Holy Ghost, little Corby said, "Is it my turn to get into the big water?" Afterward we had lots of food in the kitchen, I made a cheese ball with crackers (which was gone in a matter of minutes =+) ) among other things, and many other people brought food as well, no one went home hungry. Which I think is great. There was a really good turnout too. Then we had to wish everyone goodbye. It really went well and everyone did a great job making everything go smoothly. We are also grateful to the members of the ward supporting us and helping us in ways they could. My little girl is growing up. I couldn't feel more proud of her.
