The first Saturday in February Olivia was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. It was a beautiful day filled with the Spirit.
Gabriella and Olivia along with their cousins Samantha and Ashlyn sang the song "Gethsemane" which was beautiful.

I (Kellie) introduced Olivia and did a spotlight, Grandma Williams and Grandma Talley each gave short talks and she was baptized and confirmed by Luke.

The Talley cousins who came.
Several of Olivia's friends came to support her but I only got pictures of her with her friend Shannon and then one with her friend Paisley who got baptized right before her.
There were plenty of Williams side cousins too but I didn't get a picture of any of them except Matthew in this silly hat!
Everyone came over after the baptism for lunch and treats. We made another "baptism dress" with cupcakes like we did for Gabriella and Mamie's baptisms.
A week or two before she was baptized, Livvy gave me this cute note with her testimony written on it and it really touched my heart because, as a Mom, I had been worrying and stressing over whether she was ready and if she understood the covenant she would make at baptism. When I read this note I felt like the Spirit spoke to me and told me "See she's ready".
