This day started out with my oldest sister, Krystal, getting sealed in the Salt Lake Temple to Jake.
Afterward, Brian and I showed Elizabeth a little bit of Temple Square, and took some pictures.

Then we had the wonderful opportunity to see Marti and Grandpa be baptized. It was really special, and Elizabeth made it even more so. During the baptisms she watched very intently as they were both baptized. Then when Grandpa was confirmed she not only was very happy and smiley, but she would wipe the happy tears from my cheeks.
With the baptism my parents were helping with the refreshments, but they hurried to finish things up so that they could come home and spend some time with us since we would be leaving in the morning. At some point Rachelle told me to quickly come and see Elizabeth. I went into my parents room to find Elizabeth completely focused on my dad. He was just holding her and gently talking to her. She didn't even notice the camera flashing she was so engrossed.
I was so grateful for the opportunity that I had to travel and see family. It was great to have everyone meet Elizabeth, and see her quickly get to know everyone. I am also grateful we were there for the wedding and baptisms. What a memorable year!
