May God Bless this Child




Our baby girl was baptized today.  It was such a special day for her and our family, and we are so thankful that we got to spend the day with so much of our family.  Avery was her usual laid back, happy little self and didn't make a peep.  We didn't get any pictures of the actual baptism, but that's okay.  She wore the same special gown that Lily wore when she was baptized as well as so many other family members on the Kneifl side.  The gown has been in the family for over 90 years!  Such a special, special thing to have.  We were blessed with Jason's mom, step-dad, brothers, sister in laws, and nieces and nephews and with my mom, dad, brother, sister, niece, grandma and aunt and uncle.  We had a nice service and then we were able to all come back to our house to celebrate with lunch and cake.  Avery's cake was so pretty except for the fact that Lily got into it yesterday before everyone else got a chance to see it!  Lily dug right into it with her own little fork...I guess she wanted the first taste!
