Belle's Baptism

Last Sunday Annabelle was baptized. Now we pray that as she grows she will own her baptism. We have vowed to teach her of God's amazing covenant love and only by His grace will we have the ability to do so. We pray that God will grow her faith with every day that passes and that He will give us the wisdom to teach her about the faith that we hold so dear.

Our family on Belle's baptism day

Getting Belle into her baptismal dress which is nearly 50 years old.
My mom (Gramma Kay) wore it when she was baptized and I wore
it when I was baptized too!

Trev decided to start a silly baptism tradition for our family. After Belle was baptized we ate a delicious feast with Gramma Kay and a few good friends. Then Trev had us shoot some hoops on our indoor nerf hoop and when people made a basket we got to spray him with silly string! Trev wanted to do something funny and memorable for the for the momentous occasion and this was what he came up with. Let me tell you, Trev was a pink and green stringy mess when we were finished with him! All in all, it was a wonderful day!


P.S. We did try to get a picture of the actual baptism at church but our cameras seemed to be plotting against us. The images were either too dark or way too grainy to be able to see anything. Sorry!
