Emma's Baptism

A child is the most precious of all earthly gifts from God.  In acceptance of our gift, we promise that we will raise our child in the Christian faith.  Depending on your Christian denomination, you may baptize your baby, have a baby dedication or baptize an older child.  No matter which, the ceremony day is a day of celebration.
    
As with any celebration, moms want to do it right.  We want to make the day special and the celebration memorable.  Ok, I'll just say it.  It's a party!  But for Christian moms, one of the most important parties we will ever host.

 Emma was baptized on Sunday, September 30th.  She wore the same gown that I was baptized in exactly 28 years ago.  We are so thankful for our wonderful family and friends who were able to attend!

After the service we had everyone over to our house for brunch.  Emma was having so much fun that she didn't want to go to sleep.  She eventually crashed while everyone was sitting down to eat.






A HUGE thank you to my sweet mother who cooked all the food and created beautiful flower arrangements for my house.   
Emma's uncles served Mimosa's & Bloody Mary's
