Ali's 8th Birthday and Baptism

Ali had her 8th birthday on September 18th.  She was super excited to turn 8 and get baptized!

She got to have a birthday party with her friends where they played with a kiddie pool of bubbles and made slime.  The slime was a huge hit with the kids. 

                                      

Then this weekend we had a lot of visitors come for Ali's baptism on Saturday, September 25th.  She is such a sweet, beautiful little girl.  I can't believe I have a baptized kid.  She had a great day with lots of support from family.  We got to go to her first soccer game of the season and cheer her on when she made her first goal.  We had a picnic and the kids got out the slip n slide and played until it was time to head to the baptism.  She loved her special day and we are very proud of her!  Congrats Ali!
