Baptism Celebration

This weekend was Rachel's baptism weekend and we celebrated all weekend long!
Rachel hung out with her Papa O. and showed him how to work the new toys he got her.


With all the activity- Rachel wasn't too interested in a nap...until Great-Grandpa Dave lulled her to sleep while Mom, Nana O. and Great Granny went shopping. The nap didn't last too long, but we were grateful that she at least got a few zzz's.

I was totally slacking and didn't take any pictures at dinner on Saturday but it was a lot of fun!

Sunday was Rachel's big day- and she acted and dressed the part. Her baptism gown was the same one that her Nana O., Great-Aunt Lisa, and cousins Sara and Lindsay wore. I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to Nikki who not only came to the baptism, but served as the photographer with my camera most of the morning!

Rachel was angelic during the service. She's always good in church and this Sunday was no different even when Chip poured water on her head and introduced her to her new church family.

This is where I get to tell you about Rachel's magical powers. Yes, that's right... she's got magical powers. Never in my life did I think that I would share this picture on my blog....

This is Rachel with my Mom AND my Dad. And they are both smiling. Laughing actually. And they were the ones who suggested this million dollar picture. And they not only posed for a picture with their granddaughter together- but they also ate at the same table- TWICE- and my dad even stuck up for my mom when she fed my not even four month old baby girl FROSTING on Saturday night!

There are several pictures that I didn't get to take. But such is life with a worn out little party girl. We'll just have to get everyone together again for some pictures!

It was a great weekend and despite a little grumpiness on my part when I got a little tired, I'm looking forward to doing it again for Rachel's birthday! Only 8 more months to go!
