Kate's Friends!!!

I can't find pictures from the actual baptism. I will have to post them later. IT was such a great day---despite the rain. All of Kate's Aunts, Uncles, and Grandma and Grandpa from the Rich side could make it and all of the Wirthlin Aunts and Uncles that live in SLC made it. We know it was a time sacrafice, but we are so grateful they could all make it. We also got a "surprise" that Nana Wirthlin could come all the way from Germany. Laci, Madi, and Cami, also made the drive from Cedar City--even though they were so sick----THanks everyone---it was such a treat to have visitors....

I can't believe Kate is 8. Am I really old enough to have an 8 year old? She is such a great example to her little brothers and sister. I am so proud of all of the choices she has made. Her birthday party was so much fun to plan and carry out. Steve has been out of town for the month of January, so I was on my own. Steve's mom came down to help, which was a lifesaver. She also got a trip to the American Girl store in LA with her good friend Lulu. The moms had a great time too---an entire day with our oldest daughters. What a blast!!!! Her baptism is coming up and she can't wait. I love seeing her so excited about something that is so important.
