Birthday and Baptism Celebration Weekend!

This weekend has been great, but really busy. Jonathan's 7th Birthday Party and Baptism Celebration were this weekend. We started Saturday with his birthday party, and we had pizza, Star Wars ship cake (or at least my version of it), Yoda Soda (green sherbet punch), and ice cream. Jonathan got lots of wonderful gifts from the family, and everyone had time to visit.

On Sunday, Jonathan got baptized at church. It was a really nice service, and lots of family, friends, neighbors, and even his former Kindergarten teacher, Mr. Ron, came. The Children's Minister baptized him, and it was a very special time for us. We really appreciate all of the effort, time, and money it took for folks to attend. It meant a lot to us and to Jonathan that everyone came. After the baptism we all came back to the house for a very quick taco soup and cake/ice cream. And, Jonathan got a few more birthday presents today as well.

All in all, it was a fantastic weekend. But now we're all settling in for a long Sunday afternoon nap.
