It's GREAT to be 8

(thanks to Jamie for these simply perfect invitations)

This day has been anticipated by us all for quite some time now.
WOW was it a special day!

We were waiting for all to arrive...


We shared this baptism daywith our next door neighbor,
Summer and her family. Her grandma gave the baptism talk,
and Grandma Asplund gave the Holy Ghost talk.
She shared the importance of following the
promptings of the spirit, just like Lehi
followed the Liahona and was guided in the
right direction.
Grandma Frankie gave a beautiful opening
prayer, took LOTS of picture for us
(thank you) and brought ALL the
GIANT sandwhiches to feed our large
crowd afterwards. She is amazing and we soo
appreciate her love and support!
Our beautiful girl SOO clean and pure

She got her very own engraved scriptures (from mom/dad),
a beautiful bracelet & journal (thanks gma and gpa)
and this VERY cute scripture bag (thanks AUntie Karli).
She also got several other fun gifts, since this was
a baptism/birthday family party.
we really appreciated all the support from our families,
to travel the distance and help out in so many ways
to make this day soo special for OUR girl!

all the cousins who were able to come show their
excitment for Ame's BIG day!
Ame's 2 primary teachers were wonderful to come
and support her as well, and one of them brought
this AWESOME scripture cake.
(it was much better looking than mom's #8 cake)
Sunday Ame got introduced as the
NEWEST member by the Bishop, got
to sit on the stand and she even
CHOSE to be the very first
to share her testimony.
What an amazing girl!

We LOVE you & are so PROUD of you
*Ame'lia*
We are excited to see your beautiful spirit
continue to blossom and grow!

It was truly a very special occasion. Ame has great depth for an 8 year old and her sensitive spirit of kindness is always evident. We were so happy to share this time with your family, AND once again Brittany, YOU made it a really beautiful and fun day!
