This Sunday was our niece Eva' baptism. The baptism was after the 11:30 mass, so we headed over to Cleveland early Sunday morning so we could go to church then celebrate her baptism.
Eva with Grandma Lee
She wore the same baptismal gown as Andrea wore just like Ben wore Adam's outfit
The deacon performing the baptism was great. He gave lots of great photo ops and really encouraged the kids to participate. Well, Ben saw everyone else taking pictures and he wanted in on the action. I didn't bring his camera, but he does know how to take pictures with my iPod, so I let him have that. After taking one or two pictures, the fun was over and he just wanted to play with the iPod. So he sat himself on the steps to the alter and started playing a game. Adam and I were just waiting for him to start blaring 'All the Single Ladies' or some other inappropriate song in the middle of the baptism. But luckily, that did not happen!
After the first part of the baptism, we moved to the back of the church where the Baptismal font is located. The deacon asked all the kids to touch the water and say a prayer with him. Ben liked that part.
Then it was Eva's turn to get wet. She didn't make a peep!
And then she got her Chrisim oil and smelled like Christmas
The ladies group at the church knits and personalizes a blanket for the babies being baptized. I thought that was really special.
