Elise was baptized almost six weeks ago, so it is about time I post about it. It was such a neat day for me. She had tons of family there. Her Nana and Papa even came out from California. It was neat to see her confirmed by Jared with all those uncles, friends, grandpas, etc. I love seeing the priesthood in action.
What a milestone! She is growing up, that is for sure. She is loving it too. She was very excited for her baptism and to be able to go to activity days. We'd been talking about it for quite awhile. She was so thrilled to have her very own scriptures. She has been dutifuly marking them with every scripture reference she finds. They set some neat goals in activity days and Elise is working on them without any reminders from me. I went in her room the other night, and she had her little nightlight on reading her scriptures. It is pretty sweet. Grandpa A gave her a neat little packet to work on all about baptism, and she's finished all of it but the memorization.
Last week was her first time fasting. She was so hungry! But she was very dedicated to it and was a great example to her daddy. ;) She helped me make a huge dinner and we had cinnamon rolls as a reward for all our long suffering.
I have such a sweet 8 year old! She is so patient with her brothers and sisters. Elise understands humor like very few kids I know at this age. She loves fashion and is very creative when it comes to outfits and hairstyles. She also loves shopping and jewelry. Earrings and bracelets are just about the only things we can get her to spend her money on! She is a saver, and likes to have what feels like a lot to an 8 year old. Elise is really well behaved and nice to everyone. She is especially attached to Jared. They have a neat bond, and she just loves going anywhere he is going. She is such a sweet daughter! We are so proud of her.
