K is for the
kisses that provided a sweet treat after lunch...and the ones we planted on Mason's cheeks today after his baptism.
Kate was sick, so the musical number was replaced with an invitation for all Primary children to come up and sing.
Mason's baptism was lovely. In his journal he wrote: "I got bibtised in April 11 2015 it was fun it felt like sweeming." Shem performed the baptism and Grandpa Dave and Grandpa Steve were the witnesses. I believe this is the first Priesthood Ordinance Grandpa Steve has been able to participate in since his re-baptism.
While we were waiting for Mason and Shem to change there was a poster for everyone to sign.
There were some sweet messages from his grandparents, great grandparents, Primary teacher, ward members, and other family members. (I like the backwards message from Uncle Danny.)
Shem then confirmed Mason a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and gave him the gift of the Holy Ghost. He admonished him to make righteous choices to have a happy life, to be still and listen to the Spirit, and to remember that he is a great son and a helper to his mother.
Shem was joined in the circle by Grandpa Dave, Grandpa Steve, Great Grandpa Blanchard, Uncle Danny, Uncle Paul, Uncle Jake, Uncle Richard, and Brother Miller.
Afterwards we went to our house for a nice lunch.
Mason, we are so proud of you and your desire to get baptized!
We love you!
Kisses!
