Just a little somethin'....

One of the goals I have set for myself in my calling in the Primary Presidency is to help make baptism day special for the children turning 8 this year. In our ward, we have 7 kids that will be baptized. The first two were this past Saturday, which I was a little late in preparing for. But I found an idea from Sugardoodle.net, and recreated it for the twins:




It took most of the day to complete two of them, but it was worth it (and easier than driving up to the book store and buying one already made)....they were quite excited to get them.
I'm excited to hopefully put together a "Baptism Preview", a night where we can get the children together and talk about baptism and what to expect. It's such a momentous event in their lives, I want them to know how much we are routing for them!!

I'm glad you took Bella with you. It sounds like she's excited to get baptized, too.

OH! I forgot to mention that...it was the best part, too! Watching her watch the girls get baptism, and then answering all the questions she had.
