a celebration

Welcome little one...the world's been waiting for you.

We celebrated Anna's Baptism at Second Congregational Church last Sunday.

Which just happened to be the day of children's service. Wow...pretty appropriate. 
 
And it was magic.

Mark and I knew it would be a special day, but we had no idea it would be this amazing. She was like a little angel.

And everyone welcomed our new bundle - our precious little gift.
And she took it all in - soaking in the love and support of her family and friends.
Thank you, Aunt Mandy for being her Godmother, and Denny, for being her Godfather. It means so much to us. 
  
Family came from near and far to witness Anna's special day. It melted our hearts and we can't thank you enough for sharing it with us.
 

Looking out onto the pews, I had to remind myself to breathe. Our little girl surrounded by family and friends --- so much love was in that church that day. I swear I felt angels watching from above.

Her name was embroidered onto a little heart and hung on a special quilt the ladies made for each child's baptism.

We all gathered for a brunch afterwards. 
 
With Anna's big family circle.
 
 

And cousins loving on her.

And she loving them right back.

and may our Heavenly Father always keep you in His care."
