Kylee's Baptism

Kylee turned 8 last month, and we were so excited to celebrate her baptism. She was baptized by Matt on Saturday, December 10th, and we were lucky enough to have our own baptismal service, complete with talks, prayers and a musical number, all by family members.

Kylee had really been looking forward to this day. She said she was excited to get baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. She was also looking forward to fasting, paying tithing, and going to Activity Days!

We has a little celebration at our neighborhood clubhouse for Kylee after the baptism, and it was such a fun way to cap off such a special day.

A few things about Kylee:

• Kylee is as close to perfect as any kid I've ever met. She is kind and thoughtful and smart. I feel incredibly lucky to be her mom.
• Kylee is SUCH a good big sister. Her brothers, especially Tyler, adore her. Kylee freely plays with Tyler. One of their favorite things to play together is "school" where Kylee is the teacher and Tyler is the student. She makes up a schedule that includes recess, coloring, snack time, math, reading, etc. Tyler loves this one-on-one time with his sister. Kylee is also sweet enough to let Tyler play when she has a friend over. Tyler thinks Kylee's friends are as much his friends as they are hers because he is always included.
• Kylee loves legos, beanie boos (stuffed animals), soccer, hip hop, and playing with friends.
• She is an excellent reader and continues to read quite a bit above grade level. She also does really well in all other subjects as well.
