Sarah's Baptism

Sarah turned 8 in December.  We decided to have her baptism in January.  We had all of the Smyth family there and Grandma and Grandpa Carrick along with friends.  It was a wonderful day and the spirit was very strong.  Grandpa Carrick spoke on baptism, Sarah sang "When I am Baptized", and Grandma Melene spoke on baptism.

The one surprise visitor to the baptism was the Hull family's dog Holly (a small hypo-allergenic puppy).  I had no idea they brought her until Ryan mentioned that after he had baptized Sarah and was done changing he saw Brian cleaning the dog's blanket because she had an accident.  How many people do you know that have dog's at their baptism?!

We had a great time with friends and family afterward at our home.  Thanks to everyone who made the day so special.  Especially to my mom for staying up so late helping me complete a scrapbook for Sarah.  She is always so great at helping with the last minute details.
