Britton's baptism day

Britton got baptized today. It was such a perfect day. Britton got baptized with Victoria. Britton and Victoria have always lived by each other. So today was great to be able to share it with each other. It was a Stake baptism so their were 4 kids to be baptized. A priest from our ward gave the talk on baptism and did a great job. Then Britton and Victoria sang a duet My Baptism Day. They did such a great job. It sounded so beautiful. Then one of the grandfathers gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. Then the baptisms began. Britton was second. Britton had such a smile on his face. After he came up for the water he gave everyone a thumbs up. Then we waited and watched Victoria be baptized. She had to be baptized twice. Then it was time for Britton to receive the Holy Ghost. Britton asked all the priesthood holders himself if they would join the circle. We had so much support from our family. Britton's circle had Dan, Grandpa McCormack, Grandpa Gardner, Grandpa Anderson, Uncle Paul, Uncle Matt, Uncle Ben, Uncle Mike, Uncle Dave, Uncle Brent, Uncle Brant, Uncle Keith, Landon, and the Bishop. The blessing was beautiful. Then I was asked to bear my testimony which wasn't very easy because I was very emotional. The primary also took some time and organized a folder with the testimonies of all those who came to the baptism. After the baptism was over we went to the Bowery and had dinner. Victoria's family and our family joined together for dinner. We got pizza and had salads and desserts. The kids were able to play in the grass. Britton got lots of fun things from many different people. He got scriptures, a hymn book, scripture case, church games, a baptism pillow case, tie tacs, church games, books and a few other fun things. It was such a great day. Thanks to everyone who supported Britton in his great day. We love you Britton and are so proud of the choice that you made.
