After raising 7 children who all served missions, 6 of which have wonderful companions whom they've been sealed to in the temple....baptisms and blessings become sweet & wonderful rewards.
Saturday, September 4th became one of those pay-days for parents. This time for two sets of parents. Tim & I as grandparents and David & Becky as the proud parents of Benjamin David.
Tender-Sensitive been, all dressed in white asked his Dad to baptism him a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles came to witness this wonderful event & to celebrate together.
Sister, big & little embraced each moment.
After the special program, baptism, confirmation and testimonies, it was time to bring on the food. Shredded pork sandwiches and Grandpa's famous crab salad! Yummy!
A special surprise awaited in the wings of the chapel. Alan & Karen with their 4 kids drove all the way from Denver Colorado to be apart of this celebration. That meant driving all day Friday then turning around and driving back after Emma's blessing on Sunday. What a true token of love.
Cousin's ran about, laughing, eating and sharing stories. Ben was in heaven for sure!
Love has no boundaries while sharing it with family & friends around.
Everyone filled themselves to full capasity1
Oh, the magical power of family!
