Anna Kate's Baptism

We had Anna Kate baptized on Sunday, October 17th. We have such a great church family and were excited about this upcoming celebration! We were very fortunate to have so many family members travel down to Knoxville to help us celebrate this special day!






Nana and Papa arrived on Thursday and Grandma, Aunt "Wala", Jack, Great Nana, and Don all arrived on Saturday. We attended the early service (8:30am) and were all surprisingly on time (thanks to Mom who got to our house at 7:00am to help get the girls camera ready)!
AK wore the same dress that Mom wore as well as Carrie, Maggie, Sophie, Ava, Grace, and myself all wore when we were baptized! How awesome is that!!





After the service, we all came back to our house for a big ol' family dinner (again thanks to Mom who pretty much took care of everything while I was "tending" to AK)! I wish we all lived closer together so we could have big family dinners more often...and so I digress.













Thank you to everyone who made the trip down to TN!! Also, thank you for the special gifts that were given to her to mark this occasion. I have them tucked away to show her when she is old enough to understand just how special they are!!




















Oh and there are MORE pics to come! The pictures that we have from the actual baptism didn't turn out. So when I can talk Mom into shipping us the pics from her camera(hint, hint :) ), we'll have some ceremony pics and more family pics to share!
