Ella's Baptism

On February 18th 2012, we had Ella baptized at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Auburn. It was such a wonderful day! We were blessed to have so many of our friends and family join us for the celebration. As we did just a couple of short years ago with Lia, we had the baptism at 1:00 at the church and a luncheon afterwards. The ceremony was perfect and Father Bill, once again, was just amazing. We are so thankful that he was able to perform the baptism for Ella too.

Afterward, we went to Terra Cotta Cafe for lunch with our family and friends. Thanks again to everyone who made the trip to be there with us! Ella got many thoughtful gifts (and Lia was lucky enough to snag a few herself!) Thank you all for being there to help us celebrate the beginning of Ella's spiritual life!

With Ella's god parents, Uncle Cliff and Aunt Ginny. Thank you both for sharing in this special day and for the commitment you have made to Ella as you did for Lia.

Ella wore the baptismal gown that I wore when I was baptized as a baby and Lia wore when she was baptized in 2009. I hope we can continue to pass it down through the generations!

Me and Mama - she did so much for make the whole day beautiful and memorable, thank you so much Mom!!!!
