The Baptism

Here we all are after the service. My Godparents, Matt & Michaela, Mommy & Daddy, and of course, me....the guest of honor!!! I was exhausted; so I slept alot thru church.

This is the view we all had looking out from behind the alter. It's really a beautiful church, but God takes the credit for the scenery outside.

Here I am getting baptised. I was quiet as a mouse during the whole service. Even when Father poured the water on my head, I didn't make a peep. Mommy told me I had to be a very good girl in church.

This is my baptism hat & blanket that Grandma Judy made for me. The lace is from her wedding gown and veil. I didn't get a picture of me in the hat, because I didn't sleep AT ALL the night before the baptism, so I was a little cranky about putting it on. Oh well, the hat opens up into a handkerchief, that someday I can carry on my wedding day. It was a nice gift from Grandma I think.

Here I am waiting in the back of the church for the service to begin. Everyone was staring at me when we came down the aisle. I didn't mind....I had on Mommy's baptismal gown that she wore a long time ago.
