My niece's baptism

My niece turned eight in December and had the opportunity to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in January.  My brother was very excited to baptize his daughter.  Do you remember how old you felt when you were baptized (if you were eight years old)?  I remember how old I felt.  And then I look at my niece and wonder if she feels as old as I felt.  It is such a strange feeling to see life at different ages and then see others experiences those same things and yet they seem so young.

You'll notice that I still have my coat and scarf on...well, the church was quite cool and I hadn't yet warmed up.  My brother and my niece were also cold but they didn't have their coats.

Here's my parents with my brother and niece.  Look at that cute family...I think I have a great family.

And here's my niece with my sister and her hubby, and two younger nieces that are only two weeks apart in age.  These three girls have a lot of fun when they get together.  They were so excited to see their sister/cousin get baptized.
