Dru's Baptism
We woke up to snow on April 9th, (yes, winter lasts way too long here in Utah) but it didn't matter because Dru was getting baptized. Nothing was going to spoil this perfect day.
Family came from all over and we felt the love from those who could not be here.
We also had such amazing support from our home ward. I LOVE our ward.
It was such a sweet and tender experience watching Dru take such and important step in her life. I love her for taking it seriously and being such a good example to her sisters and brother. She knew what she was doing and was well prepared. We had several family home evenings by Ry and I and grandparents about the big day.
I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Dru is 8. It just seems like a big step in her life. I am so grateful she made the decision to be baptized. She prayed and received an answer for herself. I am so grateful Ryan honors his priesthood and was able to baptize her. Nothing is more attractive to me than that.
My parents were gracious enough to let us have the luncheon at their home afterwards.
Thank you! My parents really know how to throw a great party.
Aunt Rayne and Uncle Tom.
We love that you both came. It really meant so much!

So lucky to have 2 sets of amazing grandparents!
These amazing aunts flew in from around the globe to be here for Dru's special day!
We are so lucky to have such great support!
Some fun details:
My mom bought Dru this BEAUTIFUL dress.
I was there when she picked it out. That was such a fun and memorable day.
Aunt Rayne bought Dru these gorgeous shoes that went perfectly with her dress.
She has quite the eye for fashion and class. She constantly amazes me.
Aunt Kristen made these amazing "8" cookies for all our guests.
Thank you for the time and great detail. Love them and you!

What a fun day! I'm impressed with how many people came from far away and helped make stuff. It looks like it made it so fun and special for Dru. She is so adorable, Jenny. I loooove her dress and I actually like the white snow pics with her in her white dress. It just fits. I also think you look fantastic and I love your outfit! What a sweet girl. Dru just looks like a sweetheart. Congratulations to her on her great choice and fantastic day!
How amazing! What a wonderful day for everyone. Isn't it just the best? Her dress and shoes were beautiful and you look great too!
Thanks for posting these pictures! We were so sad to miss this big day, hate being so far away! Dru looks so beautiful in that white dress! Love you all!
Just catching up tonight... I can't believe cute Dru had a baptism. Amazing how these kids grow. Seems like you and I were just barely there together. What has happened?
