My Church turns 100 years old!


Today my church (Effingham Presbyterian Church) turned 100 years old. We had a very special celebration. We had alot of people, there were four preachers, a special lunch, we opened a time capsule and we ate ice cream and watermellon. It was so much fun. Daddy's friend Mr. Andy Putnam did the childrens message and he brought this HUGE sword. I thought it was really cool! I haven't stopped talking about it yet.

All of the McLaughlin Cousins were there: Caroline, Charlie Mac, Tucker,Jayce, Ellie and Lil Clint. When this crew gets to gether we come up with all kinds of fun things to do these days. We also got to see our newest cousin Wills Urquhart get baptised. I wasn't so sure about letting them put water on Wills head but, he didn't seem to mind too much. I think he looked pretty in his little dress.

My Mommie made me wear a big pink bow in my hair (which I do not like to do anymore since I got my hair cut.)I finally agreed to do it when she told me it was so that God could see my eyes. I am not so sure I believe her. She did let me wear the pink check dress and the cinderella slippers. They are so beautiful...they have sparkles and beads on them. I thought I looked like Cinderella. Before we went to church Mommie told me it was a very special day and that I had to behave in church. I do not like, and have never liked, going to the nursery at church. I have sat in church since I was 1 year old. Lately, I have had to be taken out of church a few times for misbehaving. Mommy and Daddy promised me that if I misbehaved today, I would have to go to the nursery and that I would not be allowed back in church until I was five. I was a Saint in church. I didn't talk the entire service even when I was talked to. By the end of the day, I was exhausted and I took at nap which lasted over 6 hours!
