Baby Bright Eyes And A Baptism And A Bat

We had SUCH a nice day!

Our sweet little 

BABY BRIGHT EYES got BAPTIZED

I am gonna apologize right up front for 

the quality of these pictures-I don't

know WHAT happened-

but, they are worse than usual...

and-yes-that IS possible!

I did NOT get very good pictures of her in the

Christening Gown

so I will post some of those when I get the ones

my daughter took.

The service started with this-

After her Godparents answered some questions

she was baptized.

Here she is on the altar at the baptismal fountain

with Mom & BigBoyE.

Yes- that is my daughter's REAL hair color and the 

curls are all natural.

Although the sun is hitting it here and making it GLOW!

People always ask. her about her hair.

.Here is a true fact~

When she was about 3 years old someone asked her

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT RED HAIR?

She responded:

I was running through HELL and my hair caught fire!

We have no idea, to this day, where she heard

that or why she said it....

That's our Mimi -

or Naughty Mouth as we used to call her.

.

After the service the pastor sat down on the altar

and told the "little people"

that were sitting on the floor

watching the whole process

all about BAPTISM.

Isn't that sweet?

Afterwards~ we went back to my daughter's house

for a seriously

DELICIOUS BRUNCH.

There was quiche and fruit and 

strawberry spinach salad

and a waffle bar and cake.

Someone who shall remain nameless CJK

MIGHT  have stuck a finger in the frosting...

See the evidence for yourself...

The finger might be licked clean but AH-HA

CAUGHT!!!

The whole house was decorated beautifully

for our little girl's special day.

If you are smart you can 

FIGURE OUT what 

Baby Bright Eye's REAL NAME is!

There were sweet little tulle bows here and there.

She was awake for the service 

and for a while afterwards.

I love the way her little tongue is always

peeking out of her mouth.

Mama put her down in her swing and

she slept the afternoon away.

AND

Lest you think I was the OLD BAT in the heading

I want you to know that someone else was

THE BAT today.

WHO but MY SON would show up wearing

BAT WINGS?

I guess he misread the invitation.

Hey, dopey- It was a BAPTISM

NOT a

BAT-TISM!
