It's Great to be Eight!

Yesterday, March 3, Benjamin was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Ryan and I are so proud of Benjamin for making the choice to be baptized!

There were 3 other kids from our ward (congregation) that also were baptized yesterday. So it was special for us that we knew the other families that were participating in the program. Benjamin's friend Heidi sang "When I Am Baptized" and she did a wonderful job!

Grandma and Grandpa Partridge came from Arizona and Grandpa Anders flew in from Virginia to be here for Benjamin's special day. We missed having Grandma Anders here! Brett and Stephanie's family drove down for the baptism as well. We are so grateful that some of our family could be with us!

After the baptism, we came back to our house for deli-tray sandwiches and some presents. It was a wonderful day!
