Layla's Baptism

Leyla's baptism: 19th January 2013

Treacherous snowy conditions almost cancelled Leyla's baptism, but Jordan and Clare decided to go ahead with it and all the Howlett siblings were able to be together for the first time in a long while.  The Butlers came over from Canada especially for the occasion making this day even more special.

Aunty Elisabet made the most of being able to cuddle the canadian neice and nephew contingent.

Leyla looked absolutely stunning.  Unfortunately her dress didn't arrive from Salt Lake in time, so she wore one that her friend had used, and Mia told me it was the perfect dress.  The service was very moving, and Leyla had requested that her cousins sing "I like to look for rainbows" which they all did beautifully.  Because of Leyla's example, Mia asked us if she could be baptised.

Mummy was so happy to be with all her sisters again.  What a blessing to have loving family.
