We are so blessed to have such a beautiful little boy and we are so glad that we were able to share this day with our families. Both sets of Grandparents were there as well as Thomas' Great Grandparents. We had Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and other close family friends present on Thomas' special day.
My Grandfather said a few words before the baptism began to explain to the congregation as a founding member of Pine Shores, that this was his first Great Grandchild and that the baptismal fount was donated by his father in honor of his mother. It was very special to have him say a few words in honor of our family. We also had an elder of the church, Bus stand and ask the congregation to help in Thomas' journey with the Lord. Bus was my mentor and my Mom's mentor as we were confirmed. This was very special to me and Bus was very honored we asked him to join us in Thomas' service.
Thomas ate his foot during the prayer and when the water was put on his head he just intently looked at Pastor Bruce. He grabbed his facial hair and was all smiles as he walked him around for all of the congregation to meet. He was perfect in every way and after about 45 minutes into the service he started to get hungry so we went out had a snack and were back in time before the end of the service.
Afterwards we all enjoyed a fabulous cake from Publix! It was the best cake I've ever had from there!!! We were debating what size to get and I had a feeling I should go with the largest sheet cake they provide, good thing I did as about 90% of it was finished and the rest the youth group is going to eat tonight.
Again, we couldn't have asked for more! It was a beautiful, intimate service and Thomas was his typical cheerful self! We are so lucky we have such a cooperative child :)
