Aunt Linda & Alyssa

Sweet dreams...

Joanna was in a Christmas concert

at school on Friday night.

Alyssa didn't get to sing, but

she still wanted to match Joanna. ; )
What sweet little angels...
...and this is what it was really like
trying to get them all to smile at the same time!
There she is in the front row! : )
It takes lots of concentration to ring those bells...
especially when you're wearing
an itchy ole' Christmas dress! ; )

Joanna and Carter dressed up

as Bible characters for Awana.

Can anyone guess who they are? : )

On April 18, 2009, Joanna made the decision to put her faith in Christ. She trusted Him to forgive her sins, save her from the punishment in Hell, and take her to Heaven when she dies.

On October 11, 2010 she was obedient to the Lord's command to be baptized as a public profession of her faith.

Six other children were baptized that night by Pastor Schlagel, our Senior Pastor. The picture below shows Joanna waiting patiently until last to be baptized by her Daddy, which was her special request. : )
