Beautiful Baptism for a Beautiful Boy

Mr. Prince was baptized this month. We weren't sure how he would do. We weren't sure if he would be happy or moody or what. But as it was-everything went beautifully. There just isn't a better word for it.
Dad went very early with the older boys to fill the font and get set up at the church. And when we showed up we had just enough time to get Mr. Prince ready and snap a few pictures before it was time to start.
Well, as it goes we didn't have the person who was supposed to conduct the meeting there. So, we waited...and waited...and finally started making phone calls. We finally reached someone and Grandpa Crimson was assigned to conduct the meeting. (Though unplanned we thought it very suiting and were very pleased with the way things went.)
Once things got going it was the closest thing to a perfect baptism as I could have ever imagined. I even got a couple of comments on how it really was the best baptism several of our attendees had ever been to. The talks (given by Nana and Grandma Crimson) were concise and even though they were directed at Mr. Prince were very informative and beautiful. And the baptism and confirmation were beautiful. The prayers were given by Papa and Grandpa Crimson and they were...well...beautiful! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! The best part was Mr. Prince. He was excited and really listened to the talks, he soaked everything in and enjoyed his special day.
Here are some pics of our beautiful family and beautiful friends on the beautiful day of a beautiful baptism!
