Briggs's Baptism Day! In his own words...he had the most exciting & embarrassing day of his whole life. We all spent the day with family. The baptism was at 2pm, it went wonderfully. Reagan lee sang "When I Am Baptized" and sounded so beautiful. She missed Cassie, her singing partner, but she was a trooper and did a great job. As soon as she started singing Eryn Jane set down her trains, ran up next to her and started dancing. Everyone liked that. Briggs smiled and looked down at his fingers fiddling with his tie the whole time. Oma gave a very nice talk, the Spirit was definitely felt by many and we were all so happy to be there with Briggs on his very special day. To Granna, Oma, Melanie, Tom, Alex, Marcus, Jason, Tiffany, Dani, Geoff, Ryann, Max, & so many Friends...Thanks so much for being there. We so appreciate your love and support. After visiting and eating way too many cookies, we went home so Briggs could build his LEGO TURBOTANK that his Oma bought him for his birthday and baptism. Yes, he IS spoiled! We then sang Happy Birthday and he blew out 8 candles on his Reeses Peanut Butter Cake. After opening MORE presents, including a bank from Oma, Picture and candy from Grandma, and scriptures with a carrying case from the Philippines that his Dad gave him, we all took off to Chuy's to eat dinner. OHHHHH SOOOO GOOOD! Everyone had so much fun. It was a very nice day. One that Briggs will remember forever, we hope. Because we know we'll never forget it. To Briggs, Please always know what a very, very, very special boy you are. You have a beautiful spirit, you are smart, talented, strong and caring. Mom & Dad love you so much, always, and we're so proud of you. We know that your Heavenly Father is proud of you too and that He loves you.  Posted by Picasa

Congratulations Briggs and family. Being baptized is such a special occasion. We could feel the spirit of the event just reading about it. Thanks for sharing. By the way, nice haircut Briggs and nice tie Jens!

One last inquiry, where are the pictures of Kristin? We'll have to check your blog to see them there.
