Finger Lickin' Good

 Me and My Birdies were blessed with the 12 Days of Christmas this year!!

Two of Santa's Helpers delivered these gifts and I will be eternally greatful to them

They brought more than just presents... 

they brought 

pure Joy and excitement 

and the Christmas Spirit to our home

Thank you!!!!

 I will be posting the 12 Days of Christmas, following the Holiday Season...

For I want to enjoy my Holidays with these 3 Birds

 On the First Day of Christmas we received a Gingerbread House making kit

 It was a whole family effort...

The kids did Great!!!

I just kept licking my fingers, and eating the decorations

 but left enough for the house and little Gingerbread Train

Looks like I wasn't the only one lickin' their fingers ;)

Can you say Finger Lickin' Good??

Beautiful Baptism Day

It's Great to be 8

 My Beautiful Girl, Kenley, was Baptized and Confirmed 

a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

This took place on Saturday Morning,  December 1st, 2012

 Kenleys' beautiful white Baptism dress

 Here she is in her Baptism jumpsuit...

doesn't she look darling??

 Kenny wanted to take a picture of me and her...

a little blurry but still cute

 Kenley was Baptized by her Cousin Coleman...

He did an amazing job, and couldn't be more proud

He is my oldest sister's Son, and Kenley was "tickled pink"

that Coleman Baptized her

 Her other cousin, Dallin, confirmed Kenley a member of the church

She was so Ecstatic to have her two oldest boy cousin's from each side of 

the family Baptize and Confirm her on her special day

She was all smiles

and beamed of sweet light

 One of her best friends (and future husband;)) Evan, came and hugged

Kenley after all that was done...

Is she Blushing??

 Kenley's Great Grandma Thompson was able to attend her Baptism 

we are greatful she is still with us to do so...

There were so many that came to support Kenley on her special day...

I don't know why I don't have more pictures??

Afterwards, we went back to my Mom's house for refreshments...

Thanks to all those who came this day!!

It "forever" will be in Kenley's Heart

Families can be Together Forever

I am so thankful for that...

Kenley, 

I am so proud of your decision to be baptized and confirmed a member

of the church.  You are such a joy to me.

Always singing, and dancing, and drawing...

your little spirit lights up our world...

I love you Kenny Doll

Love, 

Mom
