Ava is the newest member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Grandpa baptized Ava two days before Christmas on Dec. 23 at 6 pm. Grandma and Daddy gave talks about Baptism and The Holy Ghost. The Kehr girls sang a beautiful song about Baptism, Haylee Rogers conducted the music, Sister Madsen played the piano, Jonathan Kehr and Jessica Lowe gave opening and closing prayers, Grandma Fiore bought Ava's beautiful dress and tiara, Miriam made Ava's delicious cakes, Grandma Ellis made Ava's adorable and warm fur jacket and the programs and MANY of our friends attended to be a part of this special day! Ava got a new set of scriptures with her name embossed on them along with a case from us and Grandma and Grandpa E. The Fowler Family sent her an adorable church bag and the Woods sent her a smaller Book of Mormon and a journal. Thank you everyone for being a part of this special day!
