My Special Day

We celebrated my baptism today! I have the honor of being the first baptism in our newly built church. Mom says it's even more special because she and Daddy were married in the old church, Mad was baptized in the summer church, and now I was in the new church; we've covered all the buildings!

I slept peacefully in Daddy's arms through most of the ceremony. Not even having water poured on me bothered me too much.

Daddy's sister, Aunt Jenny and one of Mom's favorite brothers-in-law, Uncle John stood up as my Godparents. My cousin, Daniel, came to check things out for a little while.

This little light of mine...

My pretty white "shirt."

Me with my older cousin, Gunnar. Maddie & Daniel and Daniel think he's pretty cool, so he must be!

My big sister was very excited to hear that I needed lots of help eating my cake.

Me and my big sis in what she calls our "dancing dresses." I can't wait until I'm big enough to dance with her. We'll be singing, "I know you. I danced with you once upon a dream..."

Here I am with my Godparents.

It was a long, tiring day, but very worth it!

Thanks to Auntie Karen for taking pictures with Mom's camera and letting me wear her pink sweater. Anyone else with photos can send them to Mom in raw format.
