Sat. Jan. 2 Connor was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What an awesome day it was! Connor was a little nervous because "half the whole entire family was there". He was the only one from our ward to be baptized, so it was all about him. We met in the relief society room. I was asked to say the opening prayer. I was in trouble because right after I was asked I got all choked up. Sure enough, as soon as I opened my mouth to talk I started crying, I'm pretty sure it's an inherited trait. I can always depend on my sister crying when I am too (thanks for the support sissy poo). I'd be surprised if anyone understood a word I said, it's the thought that counts, right? Our friend Kristin introduced him and she said some super cute things about him. There was a musical number by 4 primary girls, and a wonderful talk was given by a member of the Stake Primary Presidency. (Sorry about the sideways picture, for some reason I couldn't get it to turn)
This is everyone who was able to make it, a few families weren't even there, we are a big group. (Amy Jones was taking the picture, and Christine Morrison and of course Kristin Norby was there too).
I love Connor's face in this one, he said his cheeks were hurting from smiling so much. Jack is showing how he was feeling. He cried for Dad the whole time.
I love this card, I think it's adorable! (love you Brina!)
While we were waiting for Sean and Connor to change into their dry clothes we went into the primary room. We were all handed an index card to write something to Connor for the primary to give him on Sunday. I love that idea, it's going to be something that he will always keep. He said he felt good and happy after. I hope he always remembers how he felt right after. I remember how I felt. I don't remember much about the day, but I remember how I felt and I felt so warm and so good, a feeling that is hard to describe. I'm very pleased that Connor made the choice to be baptized, I know that the Gospel will bring him so much comfort and direction in his life. I for one am glad that I was baptized when I was 8, for those very reasons. I love Connor very much, he is an amazing little boy!

Baptisms are my favorite part of my calling. Especially when I get to be there for Graham's friends. Connor is such a sweet boy and I loved the spirit that was there during his baptism. Your family is so adorable.
