The children stirred the water in the baptismal font before the girls were baptized, then there was blessing of the mother and the father. After they were baptized each child had a godparent light a candle in their name. The whole ceremony was very emotional and beautiful, and as you can imagine I cried the whole time!
The girls are so lucky to have JoAnne, Kent and Dianna as godparents!
After the baptism we had a BBQ at our house. Mimi made a special baptism cake for the girls and also brought our favorite Spring Fling. The food was catered by Famous Dave's - yum! Sophia enjoyed every minute -she loves to be passed around and entertained by people. Isabella on the other hand, enjoys the comfort and quiet of her swing. She was not in a social mood after all of the activity that morning. We had so much fun spending time with our dear friends and family - what an amazing day!
