Elizabeth's baptism was a week and a half ago but I just haven't had time to write a post. We had such a great weekend. Both sets of our parents were in town and Elizabeth's godparents and their son came in for 4 whole days! You know that they are great friends because we had 7 people (including 3 kids under 5) in 900 sq ft for 4 days and it was wonderful and we were super-sad to see them go.
I wish we had been allowed to take videos (or even pictures) during the mass itself because Elizabeth was a trip. She sat through the homily holding onto the pew in front of her and staring intently at the priest. She then was silent and focused during the baptism. The priest joked that maybe she'll be the first female priest, given how interested in the whole thing she was. (And she does tend to love grace before dinner!)
My mom made Elizabeth's baptism dress and I am absolutely in love with it. She used the same pattern she used for Nicholas' baptism outfit and I love that they are similar and yet unique:
I couldn't find any pictures from Nicholas' baptism that showed the full outfit well, but this one gives a pretty good idea. It has the same pleated front and collar as the dress, but the sleeves are straight instead of gathered and it is shorts instead of a dress.
A few of my favorite pictures from her baptism:
