Heidi's baptism...must see gorgeous dress!

Heidi was baptized today! I hated to add to the chaos that is the holidays, but Heidi's sponsors live in Tennessee and are only up for a couple week span, so we had to pick a weekend that they were here. To add to the craziness that the holidays brings, we had this super-warm day yesterday, which meant the snow started melting causing everything to be wet, which then froze overnight causing my driveway to turn to pure ice, which was then covered with 3 inches of fresh snow. Yeah. Fun. So in the midst of getting ready to get out the door by 8:30 this morning, we had to try to figure out how all these people are going to get to our house when our driveway is the equivalent of a steep uphill wet ice rink.

Our truck (woot-woot Tundra) got up the driveway, but it was the only one. I intended on having Josh chauffer people in the truck from the bottom of the driveway to the top, but everyone just hopped out of their vehicles and merrily shuffled their way up the driveway (in dress shoes and bearing gifts, no less). Love of family is a wonderful thing.

Anyway, the baptism itself went well. Heidi was pretty good in church, being as it was her naptime and she was hungry but was too distracted to drink her bottle. She fussed a little bit during the head-wetting, but then smiled as Josh walked her around the church to meet her new "family." She was a bit crabby at home, since she fell asleep on the way home and slept for a few minutes in her car seat at home before she was woken up by all the excitement.

I got a few pics, including some fabulous ones before hand. The dress was hand-made by my sister and I just love it! It was perfect! Without further ado...pictures!

Us and the Godparents, don't mind the blur

Us and Heidi

Beautiful girl in a beautiful dress!

Heidi loved the dress and played with it all day!

Thank you Aunt Laura for making me such a beautiful dress!

The only thing that would have made the day better would have been having Aunt Laura and Cousin Keagen with us! Feel better soon Keagie!
