I know it's cliche, but I'm saying it anyways...I can't believe my baby is 8!! I've had 8 long years to think about this day and I must say that it couldn't have been any more PERFECT (except that we weren't able to have any family here for the special event, sniff). You know the saying about the "three white dresses", well as we were shopping for her baptism dress I got a little misty eyed realizing that we had 2 of the dresses down and only one more to go and the day that she wears her last white dress will be here before we know it. It is amazing to see her grow up into the beautiful, thoughtful, sensitive girl that she is becoming and today was one of the proudest moments in her momma's life (and daddy's too :). She shares the same birthday with her friend and neighbor, Daxton and so we decided to let them share their baptism day also. Mandy and I had a lot of fun going a little overboard planning it together (I felt like we were planning a wedding reception....which may not be a bad idea in the future :). We had so many wonderful friends that came to show their support and it meant alot to us to have them there. There were some great talks and Jayden and Grady (Daxton's brother that is Jayden's age) sang the most adorable duet to "When I am Baptized). When Kylie came out of the water she had the biggest grin on her face and it stayed on for the rest of the day. Congratulations, Kylie, we love you!! 
(little Miss talented Mandy made these adorable cupcakes and I'm sad I forgot to take a picture of all 80 of them on the cute cupcake stand)
We had 8 tables so for the centerpieces we had B&W pictures for each year of their lives, it was fun looking back.....

My heart is just breaking that we couldn't be there. It looks and sounds like everything was wonderful though. Kylie looks so beautiful and grown up! I am so proud of her! The decorations are adorable. That was fun to see the pictures of her growing up. She has always been such a cutie! I also love that picture of Maddox with chocolate all over his face. He is getting to be such a big boy! That up close picture of Kylie and Daxton kind of made me laugh too the way you can barely see that he has his arm around her and two little fingers touching her shoulder. They both look adorable! Thanks for sharing the special day with us. I guess this is the next best thing if we can't be there in person. Oh, and I still want to hear the recording you got of the duet. So cute!
Congratulations Ky! We are so proud of your decision to get baptized. Thanks for being such a great example for Madison and always being such a great friend to her. We love you!
