Ethan's Ordination Day

Wow! What a beautiful, emotional and grateful day for the Denkers' family. Our young man, Ethan Robert received the Aaronic Priesthood and was ordained to the office of Deacon on Sunday, May 31, 2009. He looks so sharp in his new suit! What a handsome young man! Thank goodness we took a few pictures before the waterworks began! At least I still have make-up on in this picture!

We were only one short in this picture (Tom Hannett - MIA), but these are the Priesthood holders who stood in the circle and placed their hands on Ethan while Chris gave him the most beautiful blessing.

Chris's blessing was absolutely beautiful! He did a wonderful job! I can't believe Ethan is 12 already. You've done such a great job with all your kids, Loma!
