Today Dillon was Baptized and Confirmed. He is so happy and thrilled to have been given the opportunity. He was surrounded by so many people that love him! He was definitely the man of the hour and pranced around so thrilled to see everyone. He is such a little man. Since we ended up doing it in his cousins' ward we were able to control the entire program so everything was done by a family member. Everyone there was family either by blood or "adopted" into the family. Uncle Pat gave a great talk about Disneyland, oh, baptism which he compared to Disneyland which was brilliant. The gist was that the bishop gave Dillon the ticket, Daddy got him through the gate and his goal was the castle, without getting distracted by all the other things along the way. The path is straight and narrow. Grandma G talked about the Holy Ghost and how being given the gift of the Holy Ghost means you'll never lose your signal. (Her theme was cell phones). It was all very modernized and it was wonderful! Both people talked about these important things in ways that helped Dillon understand even better. Uncle Scott was such a huge help in all of this. Without him we would've been waiting until early February which would've made it very difficult for Grandma and Papa G to be there.
He wore that shirt for the rest of the day when we got home.
He was SO thrilled to get his own scriptures. Apparently I didn't get a picture but he also got the case and a little hymn book of his own.
After he was baptized, he and Daddy were supposed to be quickly changing. Instead Dillon was super giggly and bouncy talking about how he wanted to go back in the Font. (Uncle Scott made sure it was nice and toasty).
We are so fortunate to have such a huge network of people that love our children. There is absolutely no doubt that they are cherished. Congratulations my sweet boy!
