Anne was baptized in a special dress made by her 4th great-grandma (Kellan's maternal grandpa's maternal great-grandma) in 1917 out of a bleached flour sack for her granddaughters who wore it and were baptized in the Manti temple. Anne is part of the 5th generation of granddaughters to wear it.
Grandma and Grandpa Hazel and Gary Bradshaw. Gary's great-grandmother made the dress.
She was so nervous and excited. Kellan told me that she kept fidgeting and squirming until he asked if she wanted to sit in his lap and that calmed her down.
I just feel so blessed to be this girls mother. The older she gets the more I just really really like her.
We were blessed to have 3 sets of grandparents come, who made the day extra special for her. Gramma Mai knitted Anne's hot pink cardigan for her! It is just darling with her new white dress!
My parents, Gramma and Grampa Bird.
The whole fam damily.
The Stevens
The Birds, including Keith fresh off the mish. Anne was really excited he made it home in time!
Gramma Hazel. Anne absolutely loves this pillow she made her. We are so blessed to have such great grandparents!
It was a really special day. I can't believe its already come and gone. We're so proud of Anne and so amazed at her understanding of the gospel and her testimony. She is just incredible!

I can't believe that she is 8! What a great day. I can't believe how special her dress is :)
PS, you look fabulous! What's your secret?
I want a dress like that! What an incredibly special tradition to be apart of. I love it, all of this. Baptisms are my favorite.
And I agree with Jessie--you are so pretty! It must be said.
