Celebration Saturday

What an incredible weekend it was! On Saturday morning, we headed to church for our baptism preparation class. I learned a lot, actually! I learned that Landon is forgiven for all the sins he may have for the rest of his life. What a reassuring feeling!

After class, Ryan and I headed our separate ways to run last minute errands to prepare for not one but two parties to come later that night!

We then went back to church for the amazing baptism that followed! Pastor Jason baptized Bennett as well. My little love bug was close to falling asleep when the wonderful water was poured over his head. He made a few squeaks but never once cried. After that, he was wide awake for the rest of the ceremony, unlike Bennett who slept the entire time!

We chose aunts Kristin and Kelly as godparents. We hope you will set a good example for our little Landon and be there to help him whenever he needs it. Provide a voice of Christian values as you help guide him in his life.

After that, it was party time! We went back to our house for a big taco bar and 2 different cakes--one to celebrate each of the momentous events--Landon's baptism and Bennett's 2nd birthday.

Bennett is obsessed with Cars right now, so his birthday had to have a Cars cake complete with Lightning McQueen and Mator on the top.

Lightning slippers . . .

toy cars from the movie . . . Cars shirts . . . need I say more?!?! He's obsessed!

Although it was a tiring day, I enjoyed every moment. The baptism always makes me tear up. God has given us two amazing gifts and I hope that Ryan, me and our godparents can help both the boys become strong men with a strong faith in God.

Cheers to a wonderful weekend!
