Baptized!

It's that time.....Lexi finally got to be baptized! She was so, so, so excited! We did it over President's day weekend so some of my family could come out for it. (We had all the Uncle's and a "friend" show up! I'll post some of those pictures in the next post.) The Reese side of the family has one baptism dress for all the girls. Lexi is the second one to be baptized in it and Anna

will get to have it in May for her baptism! It's extra special since everyone will get to use it!

Here are Lexi's scriptures she got for her birthday. She loves them! Some details of the big day are -

Gammi and Aunt Jenni were the speakers. Gammi did her traditional Holy Ghost talk. Lexi got a cozy blanket and Gammi explained how the blanket surrounds you and can keep you warm and safe just like the Holy Ghost. Aunt Jenni talked about the importance of baptism and how special the day is. Lexi asked her Uncle Travis and Uncle Daniel to say the prayers. And Uncle Brendan did an awesome job singing a special musical. Lexi's dad baptized her and did it Spanish so Uncle Doug and Brother Wright (who also speak spanish) were the witnesses.

Here is Lexi wearing her confirmation dress. Gammi gave it to Lexi for her birthday. She looked beautiful and the whole rest of the weekend she worked on being "perfect" so she could stay clean and pure for a long time! It is such a blessing to have children making good choices and wanting to choose the right! Way to go, Lexi!
