Fiora's baptism day started with an unexpected package in the mail. Aunt Robin Schauers surprised Fiora with her very own baptism pillow case! Fiora was delighted with a personal gift in the mail. Thanks Robin!
Aunt Shawna Schauers was so generous and kind as to make Fiora's baptism dress. It turned out beautiful, and Fiora looked like an angel in it. How nice to have a seamstress in the family so we can have family heirloom dresses like this.
We reserved the church so we could invite all the baptism guests to a luncheon before her baptism. We had ham, potatoes, salad, bread, and dessert. It couldn't have happened without everyone pulling together and bringing food, so thanks everyone, and it was delicious!
We had to change venues to attend the baptism in the Stake Center, but it went pretty smoothly I think, no one got lost. Fiora was nervous and excited as we changed into her white baptism clothes. Kayden Nielson, her cousin, was lucky enough to get permission to be baptised at our Stake Center as well, so we could have a family baptism! Kayden was handsome and Fiora was beautiful and it was a very special day.
Bishop Mike Hill with Fiora. Bishop Hill presided and did a great job at making Fiora and Kayden feel special.
Here Fiora is with her new scriptures. Unfortunately, when I was curling Fiora's bangs after the baptism I accidently dropped the curling iron and it hit her head. She had a bad burn on her forehead and I was so sad and worried that it would interfere with her special confirmation afterwards. She was very brave and kept a smile on her face the whole time.
We love you Fiora and are so pleased with your decision to be baptized! Love, Mom and Dad
