Baptism

This past Saturday Henry was baptized. In our church (we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) we don't baptize children until they are eight years old. He was able to learn about the gospel and what our Heavenly Father wants us to do in this life and was excited to be baptized. He and Jay both looked so handsome dressed in white.

He was nervous, of course. Mainly because of the "baptism by immersion" part - he's not too keen about going under water. But it was just for a second and he (and Jay) did great. Before they baptized him they invited all the smaller children to come up and sit on the floor in front of the baptismal font so that they could see what was going on. Our little nephew Boston said, "he's taking a bath", which was really cute and a pretty apt description.

After his baptism we had our extended family over for lunch. It was fun to get together and celebrate such an important event. We are so proud of Henry for choosing to baptized. We love him so much!
