LORI BLOG: Baptism

Okay! Momma got all the pictures uploaded! HooRAY! RAY! RAY! So, here's how my day went.

It was your pretty typically morning. I got up at 7, ate my breakfast and went back down for my morning nap, and at 9 Momma and Papa were up and ready to get me all cleaned up and looking my best! I know that there had been talk about putting some of Momma's mouse in my hair to make the curls look extra curl-tastic, but in the end I went au naturale! No! Not nekkid! I meant without hair gel...

You adults have dirty dirty minds!

You should clean your ears more often! So, anyway, I get all made spiffy and it's time to wear.... The Dress.

Momma really spent a lot of time on it! And I think it shows! It really was a show stopper. She took this dress to the left and after nearly my whole lifetime magically turned it into the dress to the right and below. I think she had some mice and birds come over while I slept to finish it, cause it must have taken a lifetime to make. Oh wait. It did. It took almost my whole lifetime! Hee! And looked how much longer it is than all the rest of my clothes! OMG Mom! What were you thinking?!



Anyway, Gramma Kathy was definitely proud of me and showing me off to just about everyone! And see my bonnet! Oh, Momma loves the bonnet! Gui's Mom, Cris, made it. And when I grow up big and even more beautiful, it turns into my wedding-kerchief. Momma's gonna put it in a box for me! I can't wait to be Big!

And my godparents were there too! They came the way from Laredo just to be there with me!! Uncle Danny and Aunt Kristi! It was really great having them there with me. Kristi was wonderful during the after party. I was so tired from all the attention that I really just wanted a nap. And Aunt Kristi hugged me and bounced me until I didn't remember anything else! She's a great godmother. Hmmm... I wonder if she's the type of godmother that has sparklie fairy wings and a magic wand... O:)

Lois, partially hidden behind Pastor Laura, led the congregation to sing 'Come and be Baptized', a hymn to welcome us up. Momma tried to sing to me, but she didn't really know the words. It kinda made me nervous. So nervous that I wet my breeches and I wasn't happy the rest of the ceremony! Not when they put the warm water on my forehead to wash me Clean. Not when they anointed my forehead with oil to make me a Minister to the People, and not even when they lit the candle to Guide my Way. (Boy, I hope I got the symbolism right! I was sort of screaming right them, so I couldn't really focus on what Pastor Laura said. >.<'


The Water. The Oil. The Candle.


That's all for now. I'll go more into the After Party- BBQ later, maybe! :)

What beautiful pictures! I LOVE the dress -- you're a genius. :) And the bonnet is so sweet! I love the idea of saving it for her wedding!

HUGS. So sorry I couldn't be there. Love you!
