A Big Day

Saturday, June 27th was a big day for our family. Mike baptized Caitlin and gave McKell her baby blessing.

For those not familiar with our church, kids can be baptized when they are 8 by someone who holds the priesthood (which Michael does). By being baptized Caitlin promised to try to always remember Jesus and to try to be like Him. She also became an official member of our church.

When a baby is born, she (or he) receives a blessing by someone who holds the priesthood and is usually blessed with things like health and protection. Her name is also "given" or announced publicly at that time.

Caitlin's cousin, Jacob was baptized too. Here are some pictures of the big day.
