Brooke's Baptism

On 10/11/08 at three months of age Brooke Marie celebrates her first sacrament! We had a great day on Saturday. I have a ton of pictures on this post but I had a hard time choosing so I hope you can feel like you were there after you scroll through them.

Aunt Patti and Lindsay are ready to go!

Our God parents are Mike's Brother Paul and his wife Agatha. We asked them to take on this honor just a few days before we actually had to LET them do the job! Good thing they said YES!

Brooke was not happy to be laid back. She loves to be sitting up and she didn't like this view of the ceremony one bit.

She cried through the holy water part but she calmed down nicely for the rest of the ceremony.
Notice Lindsay taking the interactive role and helping Father Frank out. She also told him at the beginning of the Baptism "I already Baptized"...Ya think?!

Father had a prayer for mommy...
...and daddy

Here we are with Father Frank after my confirmation, a wedding and two Baptisms. I'd say we're done with the baptisms now. Hopefully he'll be able to do some first communions down the road for the girls.
Doodle bug Lindsay was attached to Aunt KK at this point and refused to pose for these pics.
Brooke says "Hey it's my day!"

We took a picture of everyone who has worn the Baptismal gown.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate. I didn't even get shots of everyone who was there and I put up a ton of photos. We enjoyed celebrating such a special event with our families and close friends. It was a beautiful HAPPY day and the first of many more to come with two beautiful daughters! We are so Blessed!
