Christmas Afternoon

Sunday afternoon we headed down to the river for Avery's baptism. She knew how cold the water was from the day before but still wanted to be baptized in the river. Her other option was the hot tub.


Would you believe there was a deer at the river, too?


Avery, we are so pleased with your decision to be baptized and to follow the Lord. He will surely bless you!


This is what a happy girl looks like while thawing out.


The rest of us, in our winter coats, head back to the main house.






Emma, ever so thoughtful, helped with the towels.


Ben, Tonia, Anna and Grandpa all had parts in the program. It was very special and one Avery will always remember.
