What a very special day! I remember Brady's as if it were yesterday and how nervous we were & hoping he would be good and not cry, etc. We were once again nervous about Brady (one year later) and hoped that he would be a good boy in church and act good - and he was great! He and Bria did so good!
Out of all the great pics that were taken today, this one might be my favorite & it was with a cell phone! Bria is bright eyed and bushy tailed on her big day and Brady is being such a great big brother! Richie looks handsome and I don't look huge! HA!
The above - Jerry and Rose Hellebusch - Bria's God Parents! Rose is also Richie's God Mother! They are such special people and Bria is one lucky girl! Part of her Baptism gift was a precious bonnet that is also a hanky for the day that she gets married - PRECIOUS! And, it was even blessed by Father John! SUPER SPECIAL! He even made a joke and said "she could use it on her wedding day unless she becomes a nun!" He is so quick witted! Love him!
Before the baptism started - Bria in her bonnet!
Brian and Alyssa Hellebusch - Brady's God Parents! So sweet of them to come!
Baba and Brady - he was so good!
Father putting the oil on her chest...
Washed in Holy water...
Oil on the head...It smelled so good!
Father John Antony and Bria!
Everyone who came for Bria's special day!! Front row - Alyssa, Mayme, Father John & Bria, Rose, Ally, Brian and Derek. Back row - Papa, Baba, Richie, me & Brady and Jerry!
Bria with Father and her God Parents!
My precious family! And our precious priest!
Bria on her big day! The gown that she is wearing is so special - it is over 60 years old and so delicate and ornate and just gorgeous! Barb's Aunt made it and Barb and Rose both wore it 60 years ago when they were baptized! The majority of Richie's family (the girls) have worn it so it is EXTRA special!
After her baptism we went and ate at Hog Haus (just like we did with Brady)...It was DE-LISH! However, we couldn't get our food fast enough - eating out with a 16 month is HARD...Someone was on Brady duty the whole time...
Brady giving the statue a "5" - could he be any cuter in his little jacket? Just precious!
And, cake for dessert when we got home! And, cookies and bread pudding (Alyssa was so sweet to bake and bring)...Bria opened her baptismal gifts - she got a couple of rosaries and a book of prayers and 2 precious pearl bracelets! My dad & Ange couldn't be there, but they gave her a sweet gift for her baptism of a cross, her own Bible and a hanky - she is spoiled and loved by all!
