Jackson's Baptism

April 9, 2011 was a very special day for Jackson. It was his baptism day. It means that he has officially chosen to become a member of the church, and is a huge right of passage.

I am so proud of Jackson. He was so excited. He said he wasn't nervous, but I think he looks it in this picture. (Check out the mohawk on Little G. Pretty awesome. It has since been buzzed though.)

Our family of 6. I can't believe it will soon be 7.

Jackson and Nana Blair. I love this picture. They both look so happy!

And of course, one with Mimi and Bear. (Told you I got a good one Mom)

We had a really nice party after the baptism. We had originally planned on having it at our house, but turns out we had way too many people who love Jackson and wanted to be there, so we moved it to the church.

Aunt Jess was in charge of most of the food, and she did a fabulous job, as always! If you need a baby shower/wedding shower/some kind of fun event catered, she is the best.

Apparently Lila was very happy to be there.

My sweet girls with their good friend Caitlin.

Griffin was a super big grump for most of the day. He did consent to one of his cheesy smiles for this picture though. Our good friend Kathy took care of him during the whole baptism. It was so wonderful to be able to focus on Jack and not deal with Griffin. I think the food was the only good part of the day for him.

For the sake of record keeping I'm going to try to make a list of all those who attended.

Dad, Mom, Sunny, Lila, Griffin, & even Baby Cam (kind of :)
