Lily's Baptism

We had Lily baptized last weekend and we were lucky enough that Aunt Shelley and Uncle Mike could be here with us. Of course, Lily fell asleep just before we went up in front of everyone and was quite startled when she woke up! She cried a little but it wasn't too bad. Grandma bought her a beautiful gown and Aunt Shelley gave her a matching bib to wear for the special occasion. Noah and Jude took the opportunity to dress up too!

After church we came back to the house and had lunch together.

McDonald Family Baptism

Mom, Noah and Jude were all baptized last Sunday at Riverside Presbyterian Church.


Aunt Shelley came to Jacksonville for the weekend to help celebrate. It was pretty difficult to keep the kids under control during the service and they managed to make most of the congregation laugh. Noah kept screaming "HI!" to his babysitter and Jude pulled down a sash from the pulpit! If nothing else, at least our baptism was entertaining! Grandma planned a really nice luncheon at our house after church and we were able to celebrate with family and friends all afternoon.
