Christian's Baptism

 Christian's baptism was SUCH a sweet day.  We had such an outpouring of love and support from so many wonderful friends and family members.  Christian was all smiles.  We are so proud of his decision to be baptized.

Warning:  this post has a LOT of pictures.  Just keep scrolling :-)

All ready!
So many friends and family came to support Christian
Our awesome Sister Missionaries who filled up the font when the Elders bailed on us last minute (GRRRRRR)....
 Since Christian's was the only baptism that day, I was really able to involve so many family members in the program itself.  It was awesome.  Emily conducted the music.  Grandpa Harvey read a scripture.  Grandpa Chris and Grandma Karen both gave talks.  Uncle Kyle sang a song, and Grandma Beckie gave a prayer.





Here's a picture of Christian receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

 After the baptism and confirmation, it was time to party:-).

Here are just a few more from earlier in the morning :-)

 It was a wonderful day filled with so much love for our sweet son, Christian.  We love him so much and pray that he will be guided by the Holy Ghost throughout his life to choose the right, be kind to others, and follow the example of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
