Jaron is Baptized

We had a mini family reunion to celebrate the baptism of Jaron.  His cousin, Dallin on the Prince side also turned eight, so both were baptized in Grandpa and Grandma Prince's stake in South Jordan so they could do it together.  It was such a fun family gathering.
How we love this precious boy!


As many as could, met on Friday evening to do an endowment session at the Jordan River temple.


After the temple session, we went to Prince's house.  For the baptism, Michelle, Brian's youngest sister, was singing a solo and they asked me to play for her.  So we practiced that a few times.
We then picked up Brielle, our oldest granddaughter at the hotel and took her out for a late dinner.  It was so fun to spend time with this precious girl.

The baptism was at 9:00 am the next morning.

All ready


The beautiful Prince family.





We had a fun surprise.  Jana Hinton Farnsworth and their family showed up from Texas!  Jana and Michelle are cousins.  They were traveling and came.  yea !  I'm not sure why I don't have a picture, but Jana's sister Stacey and her family also came.



Love this picture of Lily and Audrey.  I bought most of the granddaughters matching dresses for their birthdays.  They both wore theirs.


Kenny and his cousin.



MIchelle, Kristen, and Shonna  Both Kristen and Shonna brought their kids and came.  Kristen drove from Denver and Shonna from Logan.  Brave Mamas!





The kids had a blast playing at the church.  They put on dance numbers on the stage.  Lily's hair!  I think she was going under the curtain.







Brian and Michelle bought pizzas for the whole huge crowd back at Prince's house for Jaron's birthday party.

They counted 22 children at the party.  Lots of cousins and lots of love!
















It was so fun to be together and celebrate a precious little boy.  Thank you for the fun party and thank you to Kristen and Shonna for braving the drive to be together.

What a fun crew! I love the cousin pics and seeing your three pretty daughters together. Congratulations to Jaron on his baptism and that is very brave of the girls to drive from so far away, both of them. Stacy has driven from Mesa to Utah countless times with her kids and every time I hold my breath! Those twiner dresses are so cute!
