Baptisms and Blessings

So with our two lovely daughters birthdays being 5 days apart, yet still having an 8 year age difference, we were lucky enough to be able to schedule both Brooke's baptism and confirmation and Lilly's blessing on the same weekend. This also worked out picture-wise as Shan was able to coordinate matching blessing and baptism dresses so we could take adorable photographs with our girls:-)
The Griffeths and O'Bryants were on hand with Grant and Grandpa "O" giving talks at the baptism and all the moms and kids singing Brooke's favorite primary song, "When I am Baptized". The baptism and blessing were very special for all involved and we feel so blessed to live in time when the true church of Christ has been restored to the earth along with the divine priesthood authority to correctly perform these ordinances . It was such a special experience for everyone involved and we are all very proud of Brooke and her decision to be baptized.

A little pre-baptism love

Most kids would want sweets for something like this. Brooke's main request: Green peppers and ranch

"HA-HA!! Reverent time is over!!!"

Happy family pictures on the big day!!
