Lilly gets baptized

October 14th was a big day for Lilly as this was her baptism.  Great-aunts Tor and Ann from Wisconsin attended as well as cousins Callie and Kendra.  Megan and Kevin, who were the Godparents, along with Keri and Elliott all made to the trip to be here for Lilly's big day.  The baptism was held at St. Dominic Savio church, which is the parish where Leah and Andy are members.

Here's Lilly in her baptismal gown. This gown was bought when Megan was baptized in 1976 and was used for all our kids.  Katie had to soak it in Oxi-clean to get the yellow out from all those years in storage.

These were taken during the ceremony.  Sorry Andy, you seem to be hiding behind the priest.  Lilly, who was getting hungry during the ceremony was able to tough it out and not fuss.  She is a real trooper.

After the ceremony, we have a new member of the parish.  Parents, Leah and Andy, the god-parents, Megan and Kevin and the priest pose with Lilly at the font.
