Auri's Baptism

Auri was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on January 17. She was so excited! It was a wonderful evening. We had family and friends over afterwards for ice cream sundaes.

All ready to go in the beautiful dress Grandma Kathy made.
Grandma Kathy bought her some cute socks to go with the dress and Auri got some new silver shoes.

Look, Mom, no teeth!

So, after begging Auri to let me pull the first top tooth out and her finally letting me (after an hour of negotiations), she lost the second one in her sleep. Not quite in time for the "All I Want for Christmas" song, but new teeth for a new year, I guess!

Adios, 2008!!
