Baptisms for the dead!

The day Calli has been waiting for since her own baptism finally arrived...doing baptisms for others. This is something she was been talking about and anxiously waiting for for years. My mom and dad serve in the baptistery and as each grandchild turns 12 they schedule a time for them to go and do Baptisms with the family. Calli and Ashyln. This is Calli's cousin that turned 12 just one month before Calli. They came down for Thanksgiving and we took the two of them together for their first time.

Calli has 6 cousins that have turned 12 and came to the temple that night with her. (Actually one couldn't make it but Tyson, my 17 year old nephew brought a "friend" along.
Grandma and Grandpa with their 7 "Temple Worthy" grandchildren.
It was such a neat experience. When is there another time when a mother gets to stand by and proudly watch her husband baptize her daughter in the temple for others. It was awesome! Adam baptized Calli 20 times. She came out of the font absolutely "GLOWING" with a smile from one side to the other. Then Adam confirmed her along with my two brothers. It was neat to have been there with my mom and dad, Adam, Calli, my 2 brothers, my brother in law, my sister in law and my nieces and nephews. The first thing Calli said when we were leaving was "when do I get to come back"
Calli, you are one in a million and I'm so proud of you!
