The Monday after Thanksgiving was Braxten's 8th Birthday. He was so happy to be 8. He couldn't wait to be baptized. We didn't get him a lot for his birthday. He did get up early to open presents before Branden left for work. Branden made us all french toast as well for Brax. He also took his car seat out of the car. We did take him out that night to Fiesta Fun for some miniature golf and arcade play. He had so much fun! I also took cookies into his classroom that day.
The rest of the week was spent preparing for his baptism celebration that he planned. Tuesday I made two soups, Wednesday 2 more, Thursday was desserts, and Friday was breadsticks and rolls. One of my soups didn't turn out, but the rest was great. We also had a couple other soups and desserts that family members brought.
The baptism was so spiritual. All I could do was cry. My baby is so amazing! I love him so much and am so proud of him. We had so much love and support here for him. We were only missing one of set of Aunt and Uncle's and one cousin. We are so grateful for everyone that was here. I know it was kind of treacherous travel for some, but I can't say thank you enough for everyone. We also had quite a few friends in attendance. We got distracted with having everyone come over that we didn't take a lot of pictures. I felt really bad, but I know it's a day we will remember forever! I feel very blessed with all the love and support that we have in our lives.
