A day full of new socks and Costco cake

With my calling in the Primary Presidency, I get to go to the Stake Baptisms from time to time. There is no where I would rather be on a Saturday morning, and that's saying something for me - most of you know how much a love to sleep! There is such an amazing Spirit there when these children make covenants with the Lord.
It was so special to be there this past Saturday for my own little girl! It was so nice to be there with our family and loved ones.
Everything went really well. I'm sure the only thing Maddie will remember is how freezing cold the dressing room was when she got out of the font. She was shivering like crazy. The other mom there had a blow dryer and we took turns blow-drying the girls because they were so cold!

After the baptism, we went back to our church for lunch and a little basketball. Maddie was super happy with her Costco cake (but cried when she found out I was serving sandwiches for lunch - she hates sandwiches).
She really ended up having a 3 day birthday. Thursday was the actual birthday. I went to school and had lunch with her (pizza day, wa hoo) and took her class twinkies. Her class has 32 kids in it. Who knew? Not me. I thought I was safe with 30.
We went to dinner at Chili's (where no one ate anything) and then to the Stake Center for her baptism jumpsuit fitting.
Friday, the Wakewii's came from Idaho and we spent the night playing games and eating pizza. She got "Just Dance 2" for her birthday and she played it all night!
Saturday was the baptism and luncheon. After that, everyone - except her - took a 2 hour nap.
What a weekend.
(Add sharing time into the mix and a trip to the allergy doctor and sheesh, I'm pooped).
