What a special day! My mom and the Timm's were in town for the weekend and we had a special celebration for Reese's baptism.
We had her baptized at the Saturday morning mass, and there were very few people attending the regular mass, so it felt like a private service all for Reese. Sawyer was convinced it couldn't really be mass though because there was no piano player present. :) Reese had lots of friends come witness her special day: The Vitons, The Mortons, The Powells, The Ollos', Pauline and Shelby along with both there families. It was quite a busy, fun day.
She wore the dress that my mom was baptized in, and we think my grandma(Dorothy Folz) made it. So that was very special. And she was a trooper during the entire morning, except for a little fussy as I stripped her down naked in front of the whole church. She was even pretty happy sitting in the baptismal water as the Father poured water over her head. He was quite sweet and playful with her, and gave her a striking hairdo with the baptismal oils! He really worked all that hair and had the entire congregation laughing.

After the service, we had some yummy Lebanese food at our house, followed by my version of Mary's white cake. So delicious.
The day didn't end there though. We also celebrated Ellie's 2nd birthday at our house that afternoon. The kids were more than happy to sing her happy birthday and have a second piece of cake in one day! I am sure Sawyer was thinking "BEST DAY EVER!"
