YAY for Baptism Day!


"Let the children come to me ...


for the kingfom of heaven


belongs to such as these."


Matthew 19:14 NIV












First of all, I must say the day was beautiful. We started with an amazing service including the chimes, chorus, and the cutest lil kids that sang "If I were a Butterfly", The lovely baptism of our twinkies, and lasty "Go My Children, With My Blessing!" which was one of our wedding songs.

We then proceeded to our house for the post-baptism festivities. We had a wonderful spread of food, which I didn't have to cook one thing thanks to all of our gracious family and friends.

Lastly, we are so overwhelmed by everones generousity. We received tons of wonderful gifts and we received over $800 for the twinkies college fund. :) YAY!!!!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME AND MADE OUR DAY SO GREAT!!!!

Now its time to start planning the twinkies first Thanksgiving!!!

It was a fabulous day and you, Andrew and the twinkies were just great. What a beautiful ceremony. No wonder you like that church. And your home looked great, and everyone had a great time. Love you,
