[Bap.tism]

Sunday was a special day....

Marlee has been waiting for this day. i still can't believe she is eight.

gma/gpa B. bought beautiful, engraved scriptures+ the zebra print case Marlee wanted. glad they were able to make it. along with my dad+ maureen. I'm so greatful for my family+friends that made it & made the day so special. I couldn't have done it without my mom. she was such a huge support+ help to me. Marlee loves her so much & it was a huge sacrafice for my mom to be there with all the [smells]. my mom is allergic to so many things... but, strong smells are the worst for her. love you mom. xoxo.
Nate & I bought this necklace for her.

i hope she remembers this day.

The whole day was perfect,  i even remembered the extra pair of dry underwear. After it was over I realized I had not taken many pictures. first off probably because garrett had fallen asleep. not really in a happy mood.

but here is a few shots that we got::
