Kaiya's dad baptized her and my dad confirmed her. It was a stake baptism and usually the families aren't really involved with the baptism but we were lucky to have Kaiya's Aunt Amy lead the music.
The morning started with Kaiya getting dressed in the dress her Meema made. Cirdan and I gave her a gift...a necklace, baptism journal and her own scriptures with her name engraved on them. She was especially excited about the scriptures. We headed over to the church and Kaiya and her dad got dressed in their baptism clothing. We sang some songs and there were a couple talks. Then each ward was sent off separately for the baptisms. Kaiya was nervous but excited and she did great. I got her dressed and we headed back to the chapel for her confirmation. My dad gave a beautiful blessing.
We went to our house for some homemade Mexican food. Cirdan has a couple of employees who's mom makes some of the best Mexican food i've had. She does catering when people request. We ate rolled tacos, enchiladas, rice and beans. It was a sunny day so the kids got to eat outside. The grass outside was still wet and muddy -see pic. We also cleared out the garage so that the kids could eat or play there. They made it into a room where they sang primary songs. Kaiya of course being the music leader. My mom and dad got her a primary song book for her birthday. It was pretty cute.
It was nice to have the family there to spend this special day with Kaiya. I am very thankful for everyone who loves and supports my girls. They made this day even more wonderful for Kaiya.
