Grace's Baptism

We celebrated Grace's baptism with a special day of family.

However, Rick and I probably do not get parents of the year for letting Palmer campout on the trampoline the night before the ceremony.  By 9am, I was literally trying to (unsuccessfully) put Palmer down for a morning nap.

So, you can imagine how little we were surprised when Palmer did this while we were all in front of the church up at the alter.

Since Palmer was silently protesting life, we ignored him during the baptism moment and let him lie on the floor.

Like with Palmer's baptism, my dad did the ceremony:

Grace wore the same gown that my sister and I wore when we were baptized.  The fabric is from my mom's wedding dress.

The boy cousins.  Palmer idolizes Coleton and Caden and loved having a whole day to play with them.

After church, we had the family over for lunch.  The boys had a ball playing outside and Rick always loves showing off with his Palmer's go cart.

A well-deserved naptime for the honoree:

The day was so special for our little angel.
