Damien is a little obsessed with Lego Star Wars. He went straight to his room and began building.
He wanted Ice-Cream cake, so we made this together. It wasn't the prettiest cake, but it sure did taste good!
Damien was also baptized on March 21st. I asked Damien a couple of times if he was excited to be baptized. His answers..."not really, I'd rather play with my Legos" and "I'm more excited for the treats after". Typical Damien answers. He did seem a little more excited the day of. Grandma & Grandpa Madsen came all the way from Utah to be here for it, so that was pretty exciting. Grandma gave a talk about baptism. Damien seemed to really enjoy that. We loved having them here with us.
Congratulations on your baptism, Damien. We're so proud of you!
