Sabree's Baptism

Our sweet little Sabree was baptized on August 15th. It was such a perfect day! The 15th was a Sunday so we had the baptism in the evening after church. There were so many family and friends there to support her. You could just see the happiness in her face. Everything went so perfect for her. Here are some pictures we had taken a few days before her baptism.

These are a few pictures taken right before the baptism and just after.

This is Sabree with her second grade teacher, Mrs. Monroe. She also had her first grade teacher Miss Weight there. She loved her teachers and it was so neat to have them both there for her.These are her Primary teachers, Brother and Sister Alldredge. They have been great!

There were so many others there and we really appreciate all of the support. Again it made the experience so much more memorable to her. After the baptism we had a small dinner. Sabree stayed in her dress so we could get pictures of her but that turned out to be a bad idea. White dresses with sloppy joes, jello, watermelon and more don't go well together. Luckily the dress did come clean.

Aunt Jana and Sabree. Jana spoke during the baptism program. She's a great example to Sabree.Uncle Eli is so cute with Sabree. It's so awesome that she has so many great relationships.

Overall, an awesome experience for her. A day she will never forget. For me, it was one of the highlights in my life. It feel so good to see your kids making good choices. Sabree had been looking forward to this day for a long time. She is such a special little girl, a daughter of God. I'm so proud of her! She's my little angel.

Happy Birthday Sabree

Today is Sabree's 8th birthday. She's been waiting for this day for a long time. She's been really excited for her "special" birthday so she can get baptized. I wanted to make this birthday really memorable for her so we did a few extra things to make it special. Here are some pictures from the day!

Presents right after waking up! One was a swimming suit that she could wear later that day for her surprise birthday party!We did a "pink party"! This is the pink treat table. Each girl got to fill a bag of treats to take home.

Sabree's friends waiting for the birthday girl!

Still waiting! This is a picture of the cute table though. Becky (a lady in our ward) lent me the chair covers and I put tool on them. It turned out really cute!

Sabree finally made it to her party and she was really surprised and super excited. She was a little bummed thinking that she wasn't going to have a party with friends.

Playing on the trampoline with sprinklers!

Water fight! All the girls attacked Luke. He was drenched in water. It was really funny!

Sabree has wanted her ears pierced since she was 4. She finally got them peirced! OUCH! I think she already forgot that it hurt...at least she's telling everyone that it didn't even hurt but I have proof!

Overall, it was a successful day! She had a lot of fun! Earlier in the evening she slapped her face and said, "I keep trying to wake up from my dream, but I guess this day really did happen. It has been a dream come true. Thanks mom!" That's what makes it all worth it! She's a sweet little girl!
