{Rebekah's Baptism}

Our year was capped off with a great day. 
On December 31, 2011, Rebekah was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Richard and Rebekah outside the church - yes it is December 31 and gorgeously sunny and warm on her baptism day.  No coats needed.  This is why we love CA so much!

I deeply regret not getting a group shot or even a family shot!  Uggh.  I was not thinking!  Really, please don't ever bring it up to me.  I am still upset I goofed up!

So, of course I decided to torture myself by making CTR sugar cookies.  Just in case you are wondering.  I did NOT have a cookie cutter for a CTR Shield.  I did manipulate a pineapple can into one though!

The Internet can be so helpful!

I made about 50 of these little gems for her baptism! 

Yes it took a lot of time, but they were worth all the work. 

 Rebekah LOVED them.  Really on her special day that was all that mattered.
