Max's Baptism

Today Max got baptized.  It was such a special day for him and we are so happy for him to be in our family.  We belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  We believe baptism is a special covenant we make with our Heavenly Father, so it was a very special day for Max.  The hardest part of living away from family is not having them at these special occasions, but we also recognize these are unique experiences for our kids too.  He can say he was baptized in Spain.  Here are many pictures.  Yes, we made him pose a little too much.  But he's such a cutie, I couldn't resist!

ALSO..... Yes, Nick is wearing a VERY pink tie.  Our Spanish friends gave it to him because it's THE cool color for guys to wear in Spain.  So since Max got baptized here, he wore it for the memory book.  You'll notice our branch president is wearing a purple tie as well.  It's the Spanish style.  For real.

After the baptism, we had refreshments.  You'll see Tanner's walking and was showing off his new skills.
