Today Camille was baptized. What an amazing experience. We are so proud of her for making this decision and accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ. She was so excited, as were we. The program was simple but perfect. Alec gave a great opening prayer, Jakob gave a great talk on baptism, Cami sang the first verse of a song she picked ("If the Savior Stood Beside Me") and then we sang with her for the remainder of the song, Grandma gave a sweet talk on the Holy Ghost and everything ended with Grandpa's prayer. The big moments were the baptism and Cami receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost. She had to be dunked twice because her dress floated a bit the first time but the second time was perfect. Grandpa and Sam were witnesses, good thing for 2 witnesses because Grandpa missed the dress floating but Sam caught it. The Bishop, Grandpa, Sam, and Brian stood in the circle with Rob and confirmed her a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and gave her the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The Spirit was strong and tears of joy were shed as we witnessed this wonderful ordinance. We were so grateful that many of our friends and family could be there to share in this special day with Cami. We missed many of our extended family that couldn't make the trip but know they were with us in thought.
Here are some pictures from Camille's special day...
Rob brings Cami flowers on her birthday every year.
This year he saved them for her baptism day.
They looked great on the table.
Love this picture...what a Daddy's girl!
He adores his princess!
Camille and Daddy!
Isn't she beautiful???
Cami wanted to make sugar cookies
as her special treat after her baptism. Yummy!
Cami couldn't wait to have her own scriptures.
A tradition that the kids get their own set
engraved with their name on their baptism day.
And a cute tote to carry them in.
We love you Camille and are so proud of you and the wonderful choices that you make. You are such a sweet and loving little angel and we adore you. We know that Heavenly Father is very proud of you as well!

We were so privileged to share this moment with your family. Cami, may you never forget the tender feelings you had on this special day!
What a wonderful baptism day. One you will always remember!
Baptism days are so memorable! Hope yours was!
Grandma doesn't remember a single thing about her baptism. Be sure to write in your little book all your thoughts and feelings. Some day you will be so glad you did.
We loved being there and participating in your baptism. You were beautiful and so was the day.
We love you!!!
I'm so sorry it took me so long to get on this one.
Of course, Congrats Camille. I don't really even think I know you, but I am happy for you.
