Happy 8th Birthday, Raegan! Well, that was back in April - I am finally sharing some of our special events over the past few months. One of the most exciting and wonderful events for our family was Raegan's baptism. She was very excited and quite nervous. She had a great birthday with an early, big family gift named "Chico" (he will get a post of his own). She also was brave and got her ears pierced only after Sydney went first.
Raegan was baptized on April 11th the day before Easter Sunday. She was baptized along with Isaiah from Waipiolani Ward. I had an art class that morning and met the family at the stake center right after. Raegan looked beautiful in her white jumper. She was nervous and held on to me during the baptism talk. The baptism was short and sweet. Pete was full of emotion as he confirmed and blessed her. We have definitely been truly blessed with Raegan as a daughter. She has a strong will and a caring heart. Now she is growing up so fast!
Raegan drew this picture for her baptism invitation.
Here are some pictures of Raegan after her baptism. Above, Uncle Daron Makaiwi gives Raegan a lei and a bag of goodies. Below Sydney struggles with not getting a lei and begs Tahina for just one!
