The Hinds Family: Dallas is 8!

Dallas was baptized Sept. 25, 2010. What a beautiful experience that was! How crazy that I have a daughter who is old enough to be baptized. Just seeing her in her white dress was enough to choke me up. The whole experience was so wonderful and beautiful.
Before she was baptized, we went and picked out a white dress that she could wear. She was the one and only one to pick out her dress. I really wanted a different one, but she wanted what she wanted and she looked gorgeous! I called a lady in our ward to take pictures of her in her dress so that we could capture this moment in time. We went to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple and she did a great job. I also used one of the photos as an invite for family members. Loved how they turned out!

We had a luncheon after her baptism. I even made white and pink chocolate candies with a girl on the front that is kneeling! Although Dallas was afraid that she would have to go under again if she didn't do it right the first time, she did a great a job and went all the way under. Before she got baptized, we talked about lying, as well as a few other things that comes with baptism. Well, a few days after her baptism, we asked her if she was telling the truth about something and her response was, "I can't lie anymore because I was baptized." We explained that yes, in fact she could still lie, she just wasn't supposed to.

We are so proud of you honey and the decision that you've made to be baptized. I know that your Heavenly Father is proud of you as well. You are turning out to be a very remarkable daughter of God. We love you so much!
