Sophia's Special Day

March 20, 2010 was Sophia's Special Day. I know it's taken a while to get these posted, but would you believe this is my 3rd time trying? Yep, I don't know what it is but every time I go to post this, something happens. So, hopefully the 3rd time is a charm!The weather was beautiful that day(which we don't see a lot of in the spring around here.)! Sophia was so excited to get baptized, she could hardly contain herself! She was so sweet and ready for this very special covenant that she made with Heavenly Father. I like to call Sophia my Rainbows and Butterfly kind of girl because she is just that! She is so sweet and tries to look for the good in every situation. She tries so hard to make good choices and to be a good girl. She is her own little person and I'm just lucky enough to be able to be her Mom.

Daddy and Sophia

Showing off her BEAUTIFUL dress that my mom found for her. Funny story- my mom wanted to buy her baptism dress so she found one at a Nordstrom Rack up in Seattle. She called and said she found the dress but it was in a size 12. Well, Sophia is for sure NOT a size 12. So I told her it wouldn't work and we would just have to keep looking. A few hours later she calls me back and tells me that she made them call different Nordstrom Racks all over the country to find this dress in the right size. Well, she did. She found it. In Chicago. So, she had them ship it to me straight from there! Amazing! And to make the story even better, my mom picked it up, shipping and all, for under $50! Thanks Mom, you are the BEST!
