Averly's Baptism 04-10-11

We had a blessed and special day. Averly did great during the ceremony and let Pastor Walt sprinkle her and walk around showing her off. Addison even did great and sat through the entire 1 hour service. He did eat 4 suckers as a bribe but I'll take what I can get.

We were lucky to have grandparents in town and had a mini celebration after the ceremony.

Mi Mi spent numerous hours getting her dress and bonnet ready for the special occasion. The dress was made by my great great grandmother and was worn by my Great grandmother, Grandmother, Aunt, Mom, Cousin, Myself and now Averly. I can't believe it held up but it made it through without any damage. I did put a onesie under it in case we had a poop explosion. Luckily we didn't!

It was so special that she could share in the tradition.
