Oh Happy Day!

Our 10 year-old, Abby, actually asked Jesus to live in her heart back when she was 6 years old...

She recently decided she wanted to get baptized to show the world she loves Jesus so she attended a baptism class at our church. Fourteen children went through the class and decided to get baptized so we had a special baptism service this past Sunday. It was especially special for us because Steve baptized Abby...

Our church held a luncheon afterwards for the kids that got baptized and their families...

The kids received baptism certificates...

They also received a nice, leather bound Bible with their name engraved on it and a book called "The Tanglewood's Secret" - an awesome book out the Lord being our Shepherd. I highly recommend this book for tweens and teens. It's one of our favorites!

And she opened a few special gifts after we got home...

And I just had to add these pics Abby painted after she was baptized...

Abby baptized by her daddy ;-)

What a special day that we'll always treasure!
