I'm linking this post to Blue Monday with our hostess Sally. Be sure to visit her blog! See my blue in the water and skies below.
Last evening, as the sun set over beautiful Lake Pepin near Pepin, Wi we celebrated the Baptismal of Cloie Annabelle. Cloie is my sister Susie's youngest child. I blogged about the baby shower I hosted for her. To see that post click
here. Cloie wore her Paternal Grandmothers Baptismal gown. This simple yet beautiful gown was last worn 70 years ago . What a treasure for my sister and her husband Najeeb to have.
Here she is all bright eyed and gorgeous! A picture perfect baby girl with a darling disposition.
As the sun began to set over Beautiful Lake Pepin......
Family and friends gathered. The blond girl wearing the red dress and holding the bible for the minister is my sister's daughter Noel. The girl in the polka dots is my sister's daughter Kristin. Friends and relatives were her sponsors.
Mom and Dad, family and friends. The little boy on the far left is my sister's son Ben. Big brother Justin was not in this pic.
We all gathered close expecting a lot of unhappiness from Cloie.
The minister was very gentle and she never made a peep!
The proud parents say a prayer.
As this darling baby girl with slightly damp hair gazes out to her admirers. Thanks for sharing this with me, Cindy

ReplyDeleteHi cindy! What a neat baptism. Cloie Annabelle did a remarkable job - the little Sweetie! I'm a Roman Catholic so we've never held our baptisms in such a pretty spot. It's neat that she had on her grandmothers gown, too. ~ Robyn
