GREAT TO BE 8!
Baptism Preview
For those that aren't familiar with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, at age 8 we believe you are accountable for the decisions you make. We covenant with our Heavenly Father through baptism.
In Ohio I was in the primary presidency and I wanted to do something extra special for the kids. We held a "Great to be 8" fireside and the Bishop talked to the kids about the importance of Baptism, Baptism Protocol (font being filled, where the baptismal outfits were located, and etc.) the cub master talked to the soon to be cub scouts, and the activity day leader talked to the girls about that program and activities that were already being planned!
I saw this darling party by Kara's Party Ideas (check it out here, she's CRAZY talented!!) and knew I wanted this to be my theme! One of my favorite primary songs is "When I Am Baptized".
1. I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
[Chorus]
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
2. I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
So I ran with this bright rainbow theme and here are the details!
Here's my spin on the Rainbow theme!
White Chocolate Pretzels & Rainbow Printable
Take home handout that's licorice- I've used these Twizzlers several times for St. Patrick's Day and a blog I came across had this cloud so I created mine in paint.
Rainbow Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
It's my all time favorite for a basic cupcake or cake frosting.
** No judgement but I ALWAYS use a boxed cake mix for cupcakes. Always always! It's a sin for a cake but cupcakes are 50% frosting so it's always a mix. Here's my secret to a moist cupcake!!..when you pull them out of the oven put them in a container with a lid and plop them into the freezer! They will freeze and be delicious and moist when you thaw them!
M&M Bars
Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
Chicken Croissant Sandwich
These croissant sandwiches are my Great Aunt's recipe and they are seriously the best I've ever had! They are a little work but so worth it!
"Chews" the Right
CTR Baptism Towels
"When I Am Baptized" Subway Art
I also printed them in 5x7 to give to the kids on their baptism day.
Seriously I'm obsessed with these tassels! They adorn our home for our St. Pat's celebration!
The Rainbow theme was the second Baptism Preview I did. The first one I just did cupcakes, here are some of those pictures!
