Celebration!

There are many reasons to celebrate, but this week it was baptism day! A year ago Timothy was officially welcomed into the family of God and baptized by his daddy. Timothy probably didn't know we were celebrating, but we wanted to start some traditions.

* A water related activity to remember the waters of baptism.
We planned to go to the splash park, but it wasn't all that warm. Luckily it was still sunny, so we opted for water play in the front yard with his big sprinkler beach ball. He loved it!

* A special dinner
We intend to let Timothy choose, but this year we selected likely favorites on his behalf. Dinner was graham crackers, cheese, fruit and pasta. Yum, yum! And of course a bit of cake.

* A gift
I am not sure he will always get a gift, but this year it was a new story Bible. The stories are a tad long for him, but he enjoys looking for the caterpillar in each page.

Happy Baptism to our little child of God!
