Kaylee's Baptism

We decided to baptize Kaylee in Utah so that we could have all of our family there.  THANKS to Darin and Haylee for working out the details so we could have it at their stake center.  We had everyone from both families there except for my sister Lina and Geoff's brother Tom.  It was so great to have both familes together in one place! It was a great day and one I am sure Kaylee will never forget.  Uncle Brandon and Aunt Olivia gave great talks.  THANK YOU Olivia and Brandon!
Here is a picture of Geoff and Kaylee before the baptism. 

Everyone in my family except for Lina.  She had recently started a new job and couldn't take time off.

We thought we had all of the Gunnerson grand kids in this picture.  In fact I had printed and framed it before we realized that Jacob was missing from it.  Maybe we can photoshop him in somehow. :)


Here are all of the grand kids on the Dew side.  This was our first time seeing my nephew Silas in person.


After the baptism we went to La Frontera with the Dew side.  This ended up being the only night we could get everyone together while Geoff was in town.  Geoff's side of the family went to Chuck-A-Rama.  We wish we could have been with both families.


Silas (Jordan's baby)
We served cake and ice cream for the refreshments.  Things didn't exactly end up the way I planned.  I had round table cloths and centerpieces but I wasn't able to use them.  There were some baptisms before us and when we arrived they were still in the gym eating their refreshments.  We didn't have time to set up the tables  after Kaylee's baptism.  I was also going to fill the centerpiece cups with Hershey kisses and sprinkle some on the tables.  It may not have turned out how I had envisioned it, but Kaylee was happy and that was all that really mattered.


Uncle Chris showed up in uniform. We are so proud to have an uncle in the military.

How wonderful to have so much family there for Kaylee's baptism!

And one of my favorite pictures of my family with our cousins is one where we had to "photoshop" a cousin's head in. This was almost 30 years ago so photoshop didn't exist yet. We actually cut her head out of another picture and glued it in. We're old school like that. ;)
