Annelise was confirmed a member of the Church on July 18, 2010. She was baptized in the Susquhanna River, just like Joseph Smith, as her family drove west through Pennsylvania. The Sunday after Annelise and her family arrived in Salt Lake City, we all gathered at the home of Annelise's Ebert grandparents for the ceremony. Annelise's Grandma Ebert gave her a brand new white dress with little pearls on the sash.
Annelise greeted her guests--Grandpa David...
Ezra...
Grandma Carol and Mia...
Uncle Mike...
and all the Eberts.
Steve announced the program.
Annelise's cousins sang, "I am a Child of God."
Grandma Gretta talked about the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
Grandma compared the comfort the Holy Ghost can give with the comfort of a beloved "blankie." As visual aids, she brought the blankies Ezra, Jono, Mia, and Annelise loved so well. Some of them have been loved to shreds.
Annelise's grandpas and uncles gathered round to give her a blessing and confirm her a member of the Church. Afterwards, it was time for presents, including a candy poster from Uncle Craig and Aunt Carolyn.

And it was time for Grandma Ebert's great dinner, with cookies in the shape of "A's" for Annelise!
Annelise was princess for a day and everyone wanted to pose with her!
