Aleis' Baptism






We had several family members join us for Aleis special day. G & G Nicholas, and Work, Judith Nicholas, Amy Dimon, James, Angie, Christian, Josh, Andrew, Ben & Heidi Nicholas and Joseph & Kathy Nicholas.


Aleis was baptized by Spencer Sanders... a priest in our ward. Something we have decided to do with our children is have them ask a priest in our ward to do their baptism and Glen (dad) will do their confirmation. Aleis had a hard time accepting that at first because all her friends were baptized by their dads. However the other girl she shared her baptism day with was Jenica Wood and she actually had her brother, Logan, who just came home from a mission baptize her. So it worked out great.

It was a very spiritual and amazing experience. We are so grateful for families in our ward that have taught their children the gospel and the importance of the priesthood. We are grateful for a wonderful ward that are so supportive and amazing! We are especially grateful for awesome primary teachers that spend so much time teaching and loving our kids! :) Thank you!





I have to say, the funniest part of the day was that both Aleis and Jenica had the exact same dress on. This was not planned or discussed in any way! They both just ended up having the exact same dress as their special after baptism dress! What can I say Julie and I must just have great taste in clothes! :)



It was a great day! :)

It was definitely a good day! Lots of family here, and a great baptism. When the other girl walked in with the exact same dress, I assumed Jeanette had worked it out with the other mom! :-) Nope, complete randomness!
