We baptized our baby girl on Sunday. My sister is her Godmother and I wanted to do it while she was visiting from Australia. Violet was an absolute angel. She slept the whole time, and barely stirred when the water trickled over her sweet little head. Here are a few photos from the day:
Her beautiful baptismal dress was given to us by Violet's Grandmom and has been worn by six other sweet babies since 1968. I love the 'V' design on the bottom - pure coincidence, but perfect for our Violet.
It was so much fun to add Violet's name to the list of girl's who have worn this gown. Unfortunately, Aunt Nikki is now back in the Land Down Under and we will miss her, but we'll Skype her a lot!
Congratulations on your big day, sweetheart! Love, Mommy
What a beautiful gown! I love that there is a list of girls that have worn it - precious!
ReplyDeleteI love how you took a picture of the gown on it's own as well as on your girls. We baptised our little Violet and she wore the same gown I did as well as my mom, it makes it extra special
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story with the gown! So special!
ReplyDeleteMy mom made mine out of her wedding dress, and I think my children will one day wear it, too.
What a beautiful gown! I love that there is a list of girls that have worn it - precious!
