We celebrated Caden's birthday as a family in October but we had to reschedule his baptism due to a funeral on Ken's side of the family. 

Jordan made a treasure hunt for Caden's birthday. He loved it.



Caden so excited to get nunchucks.

Loving brother and sisters.



Caden loved Jordan's treasure hunt and present.



Jordan made brownies, decorated with a Halloween theme.



Caden was baptized on Saturday, December 13. We are so glad all of our family were able to change their schedules and make it for Caden's special day.




The baptism wasn't till 4pm, so we spent part of the morning at the school playground doing everything the kids can't do on a normal school day.

Like climb on top of the slide.


Climb on top of the railings.


Swing around on the bars.



Have a pile-up on the slide.



Koen even had some fun on the slide.






We also played at the nearby zipline park.

Grandpa Jones sharing a silver dollar with Caden. He talks to them about the unseen value of things. Even though this silver dollar says it is worth a dollar it is actually worth quite a bit more because of its age. Somethings, like the Holy Ghost, have a lot more value then we first realize. Do not give up something because you don't think it is not worth much because you might be giving something much more valuable away.


Grandma Jones's quilt to remind him of the comfort of the Holy Ghost.

What a great and amazing day for an amazing kid. Love you Caden!
