June 2, 2013 was a very special day for you. This is the day that we had you christened. You looked absolutely beautiful. Not only were you christened on this day, but Daddy also joined the church. Our whole family is now a member at a church we love.
Daddy and Mommy had planned this day for quite some time and had all our friends and family there to help us celebrate your special day. MiMi bought you a beautiful dress from Fireflies and Fairytales that I hope you will be able to pass down to your children in the way future. She also had beautiful beautiful, white hydrangeas and roses placed on the baptismal fount in your honor. Mommy and Daddy ordered everyone lunch from Moe's and had a local bakery make cookies for dessert.
You did so well during the service. Luckily, our church does baptisms early in the service so you were still able to nap afterwards. A long time ago the preacher would walk the babies around the front of the church so the congregation would be able to see beautiful babies. Unfortunately recently they have gone away from this. However, I guess you were special because Rev. Boling happily showed you off to the congregation. You didn't make a sound! I think you enjoyed seeing everyone as well. As soon as your moment was over and we sat back down, you were asleep. Getting baptized must have taken a lot out of you! Here are some pictures from your special day....
I think Aunt Christen summed up the day best when she was getting ready to leave. She said, "Welcome to the Kingdom!" What a precious day for us. We prayed so hard for you and are lucky to be able to be your Earthly parents. But you are the lucky one to have such a loving, Heavenly Father. I pray each night that you will be his follower and call on others to follow him as well. I pray you will give your life to God, in which you will never regret.
Love,
Mommy
