PIP- Hayden's Baptism (ETA MORE PIPs)

trevess · June 2010

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and she didn't even cry during the water part! (but I did!) She looked so gorgeous in her gown that my mom sewed from the train of my wedding dress, plus she made her little booties and I did her headband. My mom also had the slip embroidered with her initials and baptism date so she can later make it into a hankey for her to carry at her own wedding! It was so special- I love how my mother always makes things so meaningful like that (she is known for this type of thing).

The cake that we had was A-MA-ZING! Everyone raved about it- it was an atomic cake that I posted about back when I ordered it. (((Maybe I will dig into the left-overs now...hmm...)))

Here we are with Hayden's godparents- my BBF since 7th grade (she's the one with 3 under 3 I'm always talking about), and Bart's cousin who lives in DC but flew in for this! We feel so blessed.

Here are a few more of the dress:

And cake:

The atomic cake is a layer of banana walnut cake, then fresh bananas, a layer of chocolate, then fresh strawberries, and finally a layer of yellow cake all topped off with cool whip frosting! SO YUMMY!!!

She looks like such a perfect little angel!

I'm secretly hoping for a boy so that I can have my wedding gown made into a christening outfit for him. We already have a family gown that I have to use if it's a girl.
