Fun around the house

 Eli got glasses! Isn't he handsome? He was so nervous about them, but I think he looks great. I wish the humidity hadn't caused a blurry spot, but darn, it's blocked out Tessa's face! Gah!!

Eli's Baptism

Here's Eli and Bishop at his baptism! I am so proud of my little man for choosing to be baptized, and join the Church of Jesus Christ when he turned eight.  He had read the entire Book of Mormon on his own a few weeks before his baptism. He's such a good little person. with the sweetest heart imaginable.  

 Eli and his best friend forever.

 My handsome little man!

 The baptism program went great.  Just one dunking! Eli picked the theme: Thanks for coming to see Eli get dunked.  It was so cute.  We served Oreos and milk, so be dunked.  (Among other things).

There were lots of friends! We were happy to have them join us to celebrate his happy day!

 Brian and Brooke came! Tessa insisted on sitting on Brian's lap for half the night.

 Now, we have Brock and Erin, who came with Miss Rachael and their entire family!! It was so nice to see them!
