Caleb's Baptism

We had a very special day today!!
 
Our youngest chose to be baptized into the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Caleb & his Daddy
We are so proud of him... and his choice to follow Jesus Christ.
After the baptism and confirmation we had a luncheon with our family and friends...
Everyone wrote him little notes to go into the time capsule that he can open and read when he goes to the temple someday...
 
We displayed a poster telling all about him...
Each table had a center piece representing Caleb's favorite things...
This one is his Lincoln Logs - he loves to set up elaborate battle fields with Cody on the living room floor.

 
This one is covered in insects and creepy crawlies... and there is even a jar of gummy worms...
his fav!
A miniature sand box...
This is where he goes to decompress from his day...
LOVES his sand box!
This table was suppose to represent his adoration of LEGOs...
sadly his big trucks got left at home. :( bummer!
Oh well--- his LEGO candy that he refuses to eat because he likes to play with them made it! LOL
This little plaque was made by his Kindergarten teacher, Bunny Barnett. Her little girl Oaklie shared this special day with him and she was baptized at the same time.
This is an arrangement of water balloons & an up-cycled marble maze he made. He loves to rummage through the recycle for building materials and is known for his many elaborate creations.
This is his testimony table. His mini "Future Missionary" tag, his favorite tie and behind the statue of Jesus is his chart showing that we read the Book of Mormon as a family for his baptism.
We were so thankful to everyone that came! :) It was wonderful!
