Brandon's Baptism

Yesterday was a very special day for our family.  My nephew, Brandon, was baptized!  Brandon had lots of family there to support him.  His cousin Richie baptized him and Grandpa confirmed him.  They both did a great job and Grandpa gave him a beautiful blessing.

It was nice to see Brandon so happy and excited.  He is a smart little boy and made a very wise choice. I'm so proud of him!

It was a lovely baptismal ceremony and afterwards we had a barbecue at our house.

It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather.  The morning was wonderful and peaceful.  Baptisms are always delightful and Spirit filled. Then we continued the theme when we got home and had a nice family home evening lesson by Lisa.  She did a wonderful job.

The food was good, typical barbecue fare.  And we had chocolate mint softserve for dessert -- as per Brandon's request.

After that it was all downhill.  We had a four wheeler wreck which decommissioned the four wheeler.  :-( Hopefully it can be fixed with a few new parts.  Several of us came down with a lesser-known condition called *Monster overload!*

Thankfully it's a temporary condition and most people recover fairly quickly once the stimulus is gone.  :-)

Anyway, I'm so proud of my nephew, Brandon, for choosing to be baptized.  And I'm thankful for good family members who are willing to help and are good examples to not only Brandon but everybody.

Congratulations Brandon!
