As I have mentioned in previous posts, in our church, we wait until kids get 8 years or older to get baptized. If you want a wild trip down memory lane, feel free to check out Kari's baptism or Kaitlyn's.
Aunt Pickle has come to each of her niece's/nephew's baptisms. I don't think they realize just how lucky they are :) And grandma and grandpa have come too!
Before the program began, we went to take a family picture. If you look closely, you might notice there seems to be an extra in the picture. Cute Becca said she wanted to come "watch" but when it came time to line up, she just stepped right in!
We sent her back to her mama and grabbed one more quick photo before we headed in.
The program was lovely. He had his Grandpa and one of my good friends (and Becca's mom) as speakers. He picked out his favorite songs. And then got to pick out his own refreshments afterwards.
Imagine my surprise, when offered anything in the world that he wanted, that he picked carrots and apples dipped in peanut butter, cheesecake, and Doritos. I mean, what else could an 8 year old desire?!?!
We're so happy he has chosen to get baptized, and will happily use our village to help raise this wonderful boy to become a wonderful man!

Hooray for Dylan! Congrats big guy!
What a great day! Love that Mickelle has been able to be there for all of the baptisms...those kids are indeed lucky to have her there. :) Yay for Dylan!!!
