Ella's 8th Birthday and Baptism

Ella turned 8 years old, an exciting time for her baptism!
We made her delicious pancakes for breakfast on her Sunday birthday.
As always, the sun is shining in "the valley".

Adam took the week off and put in long hours trying to get home projects done.  There is still so much more to do and it's very tiring.  We had carpet installed in most of the bedrooms.  It was wonderful spending the week together despite the labor.

John and Ella had an art festival at school to showcase their work.

And Ella's big day arrived!
Here she is ready for baptism!

Adam performed the ordinances.
We felt very blessed to be surrounded by family and friends.
Ella said she wanted to do it all over again.

Here is Ella's baptism dress.  
She is nothing less than a princess.

It was such a happy and special day! Thank you again for providing lunch, hospitality even amid your crisis (!) and an outlet for feeling the sweet spirit of the Holy Ghost.
