Kaleah's Baptism

The Lutheran Church celebrated Jesus's baptism the second Sunday in January.  Maylee was baptized on this special Sunday in 2010, so we decided to have Kaleah baptized on this date as well.  Both girls wore the same baptism dress that I wore and used my white baptism blanket.  Kevin's Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Mark are Kaleah's godparents.  Many of our teens from our youth group also stood up for Kaleah.  After church we had a reception at our house.

During the Children's Sermon, the pastor's wife talked about Jesus's baptism.  Maylee piped up and told everyone a lady with short dark hair poured water on her head when she was a baby.  (We had recently looked at Maylee's scrapbook and she connected the pictures of her baptism to what Cheri was talking about.)

 Book Time...I think Grandma Doris read to Maylee for a solid 30 minutes! 

Maylee kept bringing her more books and asking for her to reread many.
