Aubrey Marie, Baptized Into Christ {1.21.12}

On the day of Baptism 

the Angels said a prayer, 

that God would always bless you 

and keep you in His care.

We headed to the restaurant/hall early on the morning of Aubrey's baptism. We worked quickly to turn the room into the perfect place to celebrate our little girl's special day. Lolo and Nana came up with the neatest idea to have all of Aubrey's Godparents write a special note or send a special quote for her to look back on. They put the notes on candles for each table. Such a cute, thoughtful idea!

You have filled a spot in my heart I didn't even know was empty. My little "honey" you will always be. 
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Love you,

Dear Aubrey, One of the most important days of my life so far, was when I was chosen to be one of your Godfathers. I accept this honor with pride and sincerity. You and those big blue eyes have a special place in my heart. I will always be there for you! 
Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
God's Blessings on your Baptism Day!

Soon it was time to get ready for church. Aubrey's hair dried a little weird after her bath, so we had to work a bit on her hair. Her shoes were borrowed from Kalli, her bracelet was from KyKy and her necklace was from Nana and Pa. She looked like a little angel in her beautiful Baptism dress.

Austin looked so grown up for his sister's special day!

It was finally time to celebrate! The room looked great and the food was awesome!

The cake table had pictures of Aubrey and all of her Godparents. We thought the pictures and the candles were a nice way to include her "California Godparents" who obviously couldn't be with us that night.
