…and this is how she felt about it:She got baptized right alongside her cousin who was born a month after she was.
Her Nana & Papa came from far away for the big event…thank you SO much you guys!

Even her “Grandma Great” made an appearance:
Grammie and Grandfather were excellent hosts.And Charity, freshly returned from her mission, was happy to be part of the hoopla.

What a lucky girl to have so many amazing uncles in the confirmation circle:
She was only missing eight uncles. Yep, that’s eight. That’s what you get when you have nine kids on both sides.

This is the third cousin born just a month after Grace & Isaac. She wasn’t quite eight yet but she was so great and supportive. These three are three peas in a pod. They sure love each other.

(Yes, all the cousins so far have inherited the “Eyre teeth.” Man are they ever lucky???)
We are so proud of this girl and all the good decisions she’s making.Love you Grace Jam!

  1. Shawni, those pictures are beautiful. When I realized her father was carrying her down to a beach to be baptized my jaw dropped. It was so beautiful and this is going to be one of the best memories of her life. I bet you were crying. I know the Spirit must have been so strong.

    One question (I hope I'm not asking something really obvious :D):Is it traditional to be baptized when you're eight?
    Well, congratulations to Grace, I'm sure she'll be very happy with the choice she made.
