Alex's baptism & New Years

For New Years Eve we had a little party.  While I was cleaning and cooking Lydia and her buddies decided to decorate, with string.  They probably used 15 balls of string.  It took a LONG time to unwrap all that string!


Yesterday Alex was baptized!  It was such a neat experience.  Alex has always been very curious and thirsty for knowledge, and his baptism day was no exception.  It was very neat to see him understand the promises that he was making.

We are the luckiest people in the world, because our WHOLE family was able to come out for Alex's baptism.  So Alex had all of his uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents there.  We shot a quick pictures afterwards since we'll probably never get everyone there again (except for Lydia's baptism ;)
What a great start to a new year!

I just got all caught up. I had a good laugh over the "it was a short meeting" story from Lydia a few posts ago. And can I just say that Alex and Dave look so alike it's crazy! I watch your kids getting older and older and I realize that mine are just around the corner from yours and it seems unreal!

String takes FOREVER to wind back up! You are a good mom:) Yeah, Alex is so curious about religious matters, so I'm sure he was really prepared and excited on his big day. We are so happy for him!
