Jane's Baptism

Last Saturday was such a special day for us.
Jane was baptized. Jane with Grandma and Grandpa Damstedt
We had her program start at 3:00 at our church. My mom spoke on baptism, B's mom spoke on the Holy Ghost. The spirit was strong. We also had 2 special musical numbers by my sister Joanna on the flute and my friend Alison on the violin. They were both really beautiful!
Thank you to Katie and Stacie for the other music.
Thank you to Tara for the announcement.
Thank you to Rachel, Jessica, and Stacie for the cookies
Thank you to Amy for taking such great care of James and for the picture frames ;)
Thank you Andy for driving so long.
Thank you to all who came!!!I borrowed these cute centerpieces that my friend Megan made and we had a big variety of desserts.


Jane had lots of lots of ward family there to support her.
She also had 2 of our neighbor families and 4 other friends from school who all aren't members of the church so it was special for them too.
Jane and Sophie- her cousin
Afterwards we all came home and let Jane open gifts her friends had given her:She was "beaming!"(Jane after church on Sunday)
