This birthday was a milestone in life. Our youngest grandchild reached the age of 12. On Sunday we attended his priesthood ordination ceremony. For those not of our faith, this means that he is now a church Deacon. Under the direction of the bishop, he can pass the sacrament to the congregation, collect offerings, serve as a messenger for the bishop in church meetings, care for the meetinghouse and grounds, and care for those in need.
Grandma and I were pleased as punch as he emerged from the ordination circle wearing his white shirt, tie and big smile.
Later the family gathered for a birthday party. Matt received a lot of presents. The first one he got was the patriotic head hood shown below.

Great gatherings involve family, friends, food, and plenty of fun. The activities of this day had all of these.
