Alison's Baptism

Alison was baptized on March 26th 2011. It was a very special day. It was nice to have only Alison being baptized. She chose the whole program. She chose mom to play the piano, Joshua lead the music, Jacob and Grandma Burgess give the talks, Grandpa Burgess and her close friend Maggie say the prayers and of coarse Darren baptize and confirm her. Alison even sang a solo as a musical number. The spirit was strong and everyone did a great job! Alison got a new dress. She was given several gifts. This is Alison holding her new scriptures and hymn book. Here is Alison practicing her solo before the baptism.

This is Jacob, Joshua, Emily and Rylie waiting for the baptism to start.

We even was able to get a family picture taken. Too bad Emily was not looking at the camera.

Jacob recorded Alison practicing her solo. Joshua was also practicing leading at the same time.

8 is Great

Alison had a great day on her Birthday. Grandma and Grandpa Burgess were here visiting. Mom and Grandma took her to her doctor check up then went out to lunch, a movie and shopping. This year Alison had her heart set on a ice cream cake from Cold Stone. She went to a friends party a while back, who had one, and she never forgot how good it was. She chose the "Cheesecake named Desire". She then opened presents. She was given this headboard. She also got a game, a hula hoop, clothes, a sleeping bag, and money. What girl could ask for a better birthday.
