Nora's Baptism

On Saturday morning we celebrated Nora's Baptism, at our house!

Father Alberic is a family friend of the Froehle's. He baptized Luke, in his house, when he was a baby. He baptized Bishop in our house and he baptized Nora in our house on Saturday! It was such a special ceremony and day! Nora did great and didn't flinch at all when the water was poured on her head.

Bishop enjoyed the day too! It was a HOT day, but the kids loved playing outside in the bouncy house (thanks, Kahlert's for letting us borrow it). Tim and Liana are Nora's god parents, so it was fun to have them be a part of the day, along with Siena and Maia too! Bishop kept busy with Siena, Maia and Madelyn!

I made it a point to get a picture of everyone with Nora. I feel absolutely terrible, that the only people I didn't get a picture of with Nora was Shelly, Ryan and Madelyn! I'm SO SO sorry, Shelly!! I gets so crazy with the kids running around--we'll get a special picture of you with her SOON!

Nora wore a special dress that her cousin, Madelyn also wore when she was baptized! Thanks, Madelyn!
