Sutton was baptized on Sunday January 30th. It was such a special ceremony and we were so fortunate to have the family and church family there to support Sutton. Sutton wore Mammy's father's christening gown that was made by his mother in 1904.

| We tried to get a good posed picture and then I changed the color to antique to give it that old look:) |
 |
| Sophie lit the candles |
 |
| Sophie was so excited to see Karlee during children's time and they couldn't stop hugging each other! |
 |
| There were 112 people in the congregation (71 the week before) and I think the most we have had in the church in a long time |
 |
| Brother Jobe asked that all of Sutton's family come up to the front and we cleared out about half the church |
 |
| Brother Jobe used a rose to sprinkle the water on his head. |
 |
| After the service we had a photo session with Sutton and all the family members. |

| Sophie made it through the day okay although it was a little rough not being the center of attention. We had talked about what was going to happen before we left the house and she said "I'm going to be baptized too!" I showed her the picture of when she was baptized and tried to explain. |
