Chase has been so excited to get the priesthood. I was having a hard time finding a suit for him so I ended up ordering a bunch from online and luckily he liked one of them (and it fit)! He wanted a grey suit and he looks so nice in it. He wanted a mens tie with a slimmer fit, not a boys tie. He looks so sharp!!!! He's grown so much that he needed new church shoes too. He likes his hair really short and spiky right now.
We had a great day celebrating Chase. Grandpa and Grandma A and R came down, and the W, and then the C's came too. It was awesome to have such great family support. We felt very loved. Chase received the priesthood after church. Matt performed the ordination. Some of Chase's friends stayed for the ordination.
After church, we came back to the house and have a nice dinner. Chase requested BBQ chicken, potatoes, rolls, salad, and jello salad. For dessert he wanted a big chocolate cake from Costco.
The first time Chase passed the sacrament was on April 19th. Matt and I were in Washington DC and it was killing us that we were missing his first time. We were out walking around the town when I got a text from Kim W. She knew we were gone so she texted us a picture of Chase passing the sacrament. She said she was going to get struck for sneaking a picture, but I was so grateful for it!!! It made my heart so happy to see him passing the sacrament. I felt like we weren't missing it.
Chase was excited to finally be able to help with fast offerings. Because of general and stake conference the next fast Sunday was April 26. Easton called him and came over to the house so they could walk together. Easton has been such a great friend. They look so handsome in their church clothes. We've been so lucky to live in a neighborhood where the boys' friends are such great examples.
