Jacob's Baptism

Last Saturday was Jacob's baptism. It was a special day for the whole family. I was so happy that so many family members could come and we missed those who couldn't make it. Jacob was the only one in our ward that turned 8 this month so we got to do the whole program. Everything turned out so well and truly invited the spirit. It was a a great day. We are so proud of Jacob and his decision to be baptized and we know that our Father in Heaven is pleased as well.

Wow! I can't believe our boys are old enough to be baptized...I am so proud of them!

Anyway...How many people were there? Looks like it was a special day and we are so sorry we missed it... Thanks for sharing the pictures and give that boy a great big hug from us! We love you Jacob!

If I counted right...39 family members! If we had all of Jared and my siblings there with their families it would have been 23 more people!
