Marina's Special Day

Marina's baptism was this weekend. She was very excited to have so many of her family and friends attend. All of the Sandoval's were present, as well as, the Martin's that live here in Denver, and her Great Grandpa and Grandma Mortensen. Her friends the Gomez' and the Easton's from church, and Mrs. Padgett and Ms. Obermaier from school were all there on Saturday. No one let the first snowfall of the season get in their way. Marina was happy that it snowed saying, "it's white like my baptism." She looked beautiful in her new white dress, and was very happy to have made this choice. I am amazed at how spiritually smart she is. She understands the importance of this choice, and has been waiting all year for this day to come. We love her very much and know that her Father in Heaven is very proud of her too!

It was a very special day for Marina and our family as Danny was able to baptize her.

Esaias would be in this family picture, but of all days to fall asleep at church, he chose today???

Marina's Great Grandpa & Grandma Mortensen

Marina with her auntie's and her Mom. Auntie Marisa gave the talk on baptism, and Auntie Mara played the piano, and gave the closing prayer. Her Uncle Ryan and Marcus were witnesses and stood in the circle, along with Grandpa Mortensen.

Lots of cousins came for the fun, but Leilani got to stay the night for a special sleepover. What a fun day.
